spring security - how to remove cache control in certain url pattern

Question

I am trying to filter some url pattern to caching. What I have attempted is put some codes into WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter implementation.

 @Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
    initSecurityConfigService();

    // For cache
    http.headers().defaultsDisabled()
            .cacheControl()
            .and().frameOptions();

    securityConfigService.configure(http,this);
}

However this code will effect all of the web application. How can I apply this to certain URL or Content-Type like images.

I have already tried with RegexRequestMatcher, but it does not work for me.

// For cache
        http.requestMatcher(new RegexRequestMatcher("/page/", "GET"))
                .headers().defaultsDisabled()
                .cacheControl()
                .and().frameOptions();

I read this article : SpringSecurityResponseHeaders, but there is no sample for this case.

Thanks.

P.S. In short, I want to remove SpringSecurity defaults for certain url and resources.

Answer 1

What about having multiple WebSecurityConfigurerAdapters? One adapter could have cache controls for certain URLs and another one will not have cache control enabled for those URLs.

I solved this with Filter. Below is part of my implementation of AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer. In onStartup method override.

FilterRegistration.Dynamic springSecurityFilterChain = servletContext.addFilter("springSecurityFilterChain", new DelegatingFilterProxy());
if(springSecurityFilterChain != null){
    springSecurityFilterChain.addMappingForUrlPatterns(EnumSet.of(DispatcherType.REQUEST), true, "/render/*", "/service/*");
    // I removed pattern url "/image/*" :)
}

What I have done is remove /image/* from MappingUrlPatterns. Thanks for your answers!
