I want to use spring 4 with minimal xml configuration for the now new project I am about to develop. I will be using Spring in this project for dependency-injection, mvc, security and jdbc. I will use JOOQ for query generation. (Yes, I need to project to support Postgresql and oracle) (maybe, in future, this app will extended support for REST too). The problem I face now is my production application server is JBoss5.1.0.GA, which obviously does not support servlet 3.0. Now I have a working spring 4 mvc code base with servlet 2.5, but I could not figure out how to configure the security with java config. Because I see most of the examples on spring 4 on servlet 3.0+ versions, and very less not good examples on 2.5. Though I read the spring security from the spring website, it made little difference on implementing it. Have anyone implemented security (db/ldap) on servlet 2.5? Share with me your wisdom and experiences.

Spring security (I suppose version 3.2 as you speak of spring 4) works well on servlet 2.5, at least with xml config. I am not sure that you can use full java config for security, but I am sure annotations can be used for method security.
