  org.acegisecurity.adapters.HttpRequestIntegrationFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.Filter

public class HttpRequestIntegrationFilter
extends Object
implements javax.servlet.Filter

Populates SecurityContext with the Authentication obtained from the container's HttpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal().

Use this filter with container adapters only.

This filter never preserves the Authentication on the SecurityContext - it is replaced every request.
