How to implement Spring Security 4 with both XML and Java config

Question

I am trying to implement Spring-Security 4 into my Spring MVC web and rest app. I added 2 classes to enable Spring Security the java config way. I still want to hold onto

Answer 1

Assuming what you want is to get Spring Security Java Config working with only 2 classes SecurityConfig and SecurityWebApplicationInitializer, you need to do the following to get it working. Please note that I am assuming that your spring mvc configuration is still XML. Please note that com.mkyong.web.config package will have the SecurityConfigclass. This will ensure that the web context will have your security configuration available.

Web.xml as follows

          contextClass
          
              org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext
          
      
      
          contextConfigLocation
          com.mkyong.web.config
      

   
      org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
