Answer 1

It's a known NB bug when using HttpMonitor for debugging:

https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204775

HttpMonitor will work but it is going to skip some parts of a request if they are processed before by spring (like spring security chain)

You can try to give Spring Security filter an extremely high order and wish it works, which I doubt.
