Answer 1

You can simply create a class that extends from AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer and it will automatically create/initialize the security filter chain for you. No code needed:

public class SecurityWebApplicationInitializer extends AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer {}

Also, if you're only just creating a single dispatcher servlet, you could consider simply extending your WebAppIntializer class from AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer:

public class WebAppInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {

    @Override
    protected Class[] getRootConfigClasses() {
        return new Class[]{WebSecurityConfig.class, App.class};
    }

    @Override
    protected Class[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class[]{WebConfig.class};
    }

    @Override
    protected String[] getServletMappings() {
        return new String[]{
            "/"
        };
    }
