I am developing Spring-Security-Access-Control-Example
using Spring MVC (version 4.3.1.RELEASE
) + Spring Security (4.1.1.RELEASE)
. Simply looking to implement access control or authorization on web application. When I simply lauch the URL: http://localhost:8080/Spring-Security-Access-Control-Example/admin. I get the following error and I really exhausted in solving the issue.
The error message/stack:

Note: I followed many links, but whatever solution had provided I already applied that still its not working. Why ?
Add ''
to Role..
<intercept-url pattern="/admin*" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" />
then it will evaluate the expression.
For this simple example, in order to avoid those single quotes (') an alternative could be to disable using expressions by changing the value of use-expressions to false. So your config should look like:
<http auto-config="true" use-expressions="false">
<intercept-url pattern="/admin*" access="ROLE_ADMIN" />
<logout logout-success-url="/admin" />
</http>
