Spring Security without web.xml

Question

What is the recommended way to add Spring Security to a web application that is using Spring\'s new WebApplicationInitializer interface instead of the web.xml file?

Answer 1

This is the way that I have done it:

container.addFilter("springSecurityFilterChain", new DelegatingFilterProxy("springSecurityFilterChain"))
                    .addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, false, "/*");

container is an instance of ServletContext
