Class RequestAttributeSecurityContextRepository

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.security.web.context.RequestAttributeSecurityContextRepository

All Implemented Interfaces:

SecurityContextRepository

public final class RequestAttributeSecurityContextRepository
extends Object
implements SecurityContextRepository

Stores the SecurityContext on a ServletRequest.setAttribute(String, Object) so that it can be restored when different dispatch types occur. It will not be available on subsequent requests. Unlike HttpSessionSecurityContextRepository this filter has no need to persist the SecurityContext on the response being committed because the SecurityContext will not be available for subsequent requests for RequestAttributeSecurityContextRepository.
