```
boolean isAllowed(java.lang.String contextPath,
                  java.lang.String uri,

    Note the default implementation of FilterInvocationSecurityMetadataSource disregards the contextPath when evaluating which secure object metadata applies to a given request URI, so generally the contextPath is unimportant unless you are using a custom FilterInvocationSecurityMetadataSource.
    
    Parameters:
    
    uri - the URI excluding the context path
    
    contextPath - the context path (may be null).
    
    method - the HTTP method (or null, for any method)
    
    authentication - the Authentication instance whose authorities should be used in evaluation whether access should be granted.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if access is allowed, false if denied
