Class SecurityContextHolderFilter

org.springframework.web.filter.GenericFilterBean

org.springframework.security.web.context.SecurityContextHolderFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.Filter, org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.context.EnvironmentAware, org.springframework.core.env.EnvironmentCapable, org.springframework.web.context.ServletContextAware

public class SecurityContextHolderFilter
extends org.springframework.web.filter.GenericFilterBean

A Filter that uses the SecurityContextRepository to obtain the SecurityContext and set it on the SecurityContextHolder. This is similar to SecurityContextPersistenceFilter except that the SecurityContextRepository.saveContext(SecurityContext, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) must be explicitly invoked to save the SecurityContext. This improves the efficiency and provides better flexibility by allowing different authentication mechanisms to choose individually if authentication should be persisted.
