Can't configure antMatchers after anyRequest (Multiple antMatcher)

Question

I am trying to configure Spring Security and get this following error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't configure antMatchers after anyRequest

This is my SecurityConfig class:

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.method.configuration.EnableGlobalMethodSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter{

    @Autowired
    private UserDetailsService userDetailsService;

    @Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {

            auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(encodePWD());
    }

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

        http
            .csrf().disable();
        http
            .httpBasic()
                .and()
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/rest/**").permitAll()
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
                .and()
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/secure/**").hasAnyRole("ADMIN")
                .anyRequest().authenticated()
                .and()
            .formLogin()
                .permitAll();

        http
            .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/login").permitAll();
    }

    @Bean
    public BCryptPasswordEncoder encodePWD(){
        return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
    }
}

I already tried call httpSecurityauthorizeRequests().anyRequest().authenticated() as mentioned here, still didn't work ...any suggestion would be helpfull.

It might help someone for same kind of Exception Here is my code:-

    @Override
      protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        super.configure(http);
        
         http.authorizeRequests()
             .antMatchers("/**")
             .hasAnyRole()
             .and()
             .formLogin();
    }

I just removed the call to super class :- super.configure(http); It worked for me. Just remove that line.

Modify the rule as follows . .anyRequest().authenticated() to be used only once .

    http
        .httpBasic()
            .and()
        .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/rest/**").permitAll()
            .and()
        .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/secure/**").hasAnyRole("ADMIN")
            .anyRequest().authenticated()
            .and()
        .formLogin()
            .permitAll();
