spring-security - where can I find the list of ALL security filters registered when I use the element?

Question

There are a default set of filters registered when we use the element in our xml file. This mentions the ordering of filters (whichever we choose t

If you turn on debug logging for org.springframework.security.web.FilterChainProxy you will see, for each request, every filter that it passes through.

For example (I am also using Spring Security OAuth).

11:18:39.123 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 1 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'BasicUserApprovalFilter'
11:18:39.123 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 2 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'SecurityContextPersistenceFilter'
11:18:39.124 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 3 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'LogoutFilter'
11:18:39.124 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 4 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter'
11:18:39.124 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 5 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'BasicAuthenticationFilter'
11:18:39.124 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 6 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'RequestCacheAwareFilter'
11:18:39.124 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 7 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'SecurityContextHolderAwareRequestFilter'
11:18:39.124 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 8 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'RememberMeAuthenticationFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 9 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'ForgotPasswordAuthenticationFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 10 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'AnonymousAuthenticationFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 11 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'SessionManagementFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 12 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'ExceptionTranslationFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 13 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'OAuth2ExceptionHandlerFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 14 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'VerificationCodeFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 15 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'OAuth2AuthorizationFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 16 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'OAuth2ProtectedResourceFilter'
11:18:39.125 FilterChainProxy - /user/login at position 17 of 17 in additional filter chain; firing Filter: 'FilterSecurityInterceptor'

If you want to get the filters programmatically you can inject the FilterChainProxy and get the filterChainMap's values.

For example:

@Autowired var filterChainProxy: FilterChainProxy = _
//...
val filterChains = filterChainProxy.getFilterChainMap.values

If you only want to see the filters that adds then you should look at the source for HttpSecurityBeanDefinitionParser.
