How can I add my own logout handler to LogoutFilter in spring-security ? Thanks!

The following solution works for me and may be helpful:

1. Extend the SimpleUrlLogoutSuccessHandler or implement the LogoutHandler:

   public class LogoutSuccessHandler extends SimpleUrlLogoutSuccessHandler {
   
      // Just for setting the default target URL
      public LogoutSuccessHandler(String defaultTargetURL) {
           this.setDefaultTargetUrl(defaultTargetURL);
      }
   
      @Override
      public void onLogoutSuccess(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Authentication authentication) throws IOException, ServletException {
   
           // do whatever you want
           super.onLogoutSuccess(request, response, authentication);
      }
   }
   

2. Add to your Spring Security Configuration:
