You must pass on the request on to the chain and you don't in case (header != null && headerContainsprefix)

After struggling some time I found the problem. It was indeed a stupid mistake that I made. and it was on the Authorization filter. changed

 if (null != header) {
            final var headerContainsPrefix = header.startsWith(TOKEN_PREFIX);

            if (!headerContainsPrefix) {
                chain.doFilter(request, response);
                return;
            }
            return;
        }

to :

 if (null != header) {
            final var headerContainsPrefix = header.startsWith(TOKEN_PREFIX);

            if (!headerContainsPrefix) {
                chain.doFilter(request, response);
                return;
            }
        }

and seems to solve the problem.
