Answer 1

For those still looking for a way to use SpringSecurity XML configuration with a Java config web application. I got this working using Spring 3.2.0.RELEASE and SpringSecurity 3.2.0.M1. Here's the important parts of the solution

WebAppConfig.java

package com.foo.webapp;

@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.foo" })
@ImportResource(value = { "/WEB-INF/spring-security.xml" })
public class WebAppConfig {

}

spring-security.xml
Note that I had to remove the default xmlns="..." from the definition.

web.xml

    
        contextClass
        
            org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext
        
    
    
        contextConfigLocation
        com.foo.webapp.WebAppConfig
    

    
    
        springSecurityFilterChain
        org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy
    
    
        springSecurityFilterChain
        /*
    

    
        org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
    

    
        foo
        org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
        1
    
    
        foo
        /
