I know there are a lost postings with the same upcoming exception. But I tried them all and tried finally 3 different tutorials. And even these example sources are running into the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A universal match pattern ('/**') is defined  before other patterns in the filter chain, causing them to be ignored. Please check the ordering in your <security:http> namespace or FilterChainProxy bean configuration

Am I doing something crucial wrong? Any advises would be appreciated. As I'd like to secure REST-methods a way with JavaConf would be good or even better as well =) My web.xml:

Looking towords your configuration it seams that your Spring context loading twice go throw following links

Spring MVC web app: application context starts twice

Spring context loading twice with both xml and annotation configuration

Application context loading twice

another problem might be a dependency conflict problem. check for dependency conflicts ,cleaning up dependency conflicts and try to start up the application

hope this will help you !

  • Thank you for your answer. I tried the mentioned links but without success. There is a dependency conflict problem as I'm using spring 3.1.4 but the direct dependencies itself depend on 3.0.7. The same issue occured with spring 3.2.5 where they depended on 3.1.4. Might this really cause the problem? – Jannik Weichert Jan 24 '14 at 07:23
  • are you sure your Spring context not loading twice now – Ashish Jagtap Jan 24 '14 at 07:24
  • No, I'm shure that it loading twice. But I have not idea why. It's not an issue like loading the dispatcher-servlet.xml twice as in the first link, the second uses JavaConf and the third has a doubled file in his META-INF folder which is not in my case... – Jannik Weichert Jan 24 '14 at 07:36

The problem was, that I had a old JavaConf Class in the project as well. Therefore the context was loaded twice. Removed the class and everything worked like a charm =)
