Taking the Driver’s Seat

Spring Security is a curious feature. People need a lot of flexibility when setting up their applications. Some want to lock down sections. Others want to control every page. The login experience varies from site to site.

Certain things have to be done in a specific order, otherwise it’s impractical, or it flat out falls apart. There are a few projects that are a better testimony to dependency injection.

Spring Security has many injection points, including the insertion of custom filters.
