Spring security ACL, #Secured annotations - annotations

Question

I currently running into trouble with spring security, I have been following the two last tutorials referenced on the spring security article page
Methods secured with the org.springframework.security.access.annotation.Secured don't seem to trigger any Spring Security logic.
This is my test file:
public class AclServiceTest {
#Autowired
PersonDataOnDemand pdod;
#Autowired
MyAclService aclService;
UserDetailsService uds = new MyUserDetailsService();
#Test
public void testWriteResourceAnnotation(){
Person p0 = pdod.getSpecificPerson(0);
Person p1 = pdod.getSpecificPerson(1);
Assert.isTrue(!p0.getId().equals(p1.getId()));
Resource r = new Resource(p0.getSite(), p0, p0.getPrivateFolder());
authenticatePerson(p0);
securedWriteResource(r);
authenticatePerson(p1);
try{
securedWriteResource(r);
fail();
} catch(Exception e){
}
}
#Secured("ACL_RESOURCE_WRITE")
public void securedWriteResource(Resource r){
return;
}
private void authenticatePerson(Person p){
UserDetails ud = uds.loadUserByUsername(p.getEmail());
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(new RunAsUserToken("user-"+p.getId(), ud, p.getPassword(), ud.getAuthorities().toArray(new GrantedAuthority[0]), null));
}
}
If added the following lines to my web.xml
<!--Spring security filter-->
<filter>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
And this is my security.xml configuration with the beans that are used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"

The businessAccessDecisionManager bean is created and is given the voters, but the decide method is never called.
Anyone has an idea what's going wrong ?
Thank for your help.

Answer 1

I found out that <global-method-security ../> wasn't inserted in the right xml file. See here for more details. This file happens to be webmvc-config.xml in my Roo project.
That unfolded several problem, I need SpEL for ACL so I finally settled for this config:
<bean class="org.springframework.security.access.expression.method.DefaultMethodSecurityExpressionHandler" id="methodExprHandler">
<property name="permissionEvaluator" ref="aclPermissionEvaluator" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.security.acls.AclPermissionEvaluator" id="aclPermissionEvaluator">
<constructor-arg ref="jdbcMutableAclService" />
</bean>
<security:global-method-security pre-post-annotations="enabled">
<security:expression-handler ref="methodExprHandler"/>
</security:global-method-security>
No voter logic for authorization.
