spring security 4 csrf disable via xml

Question

Is there a way to disable CSRF token in spring security via XML configuration? I see only java configuration online..can xml based examples. Using spring framework 4.0

Answer 1

As of Spring Security 4.0, CSRF protection is enabled by default with XML configuration. If you would like to disable CSRF protection, the corresponding XML configuration can be seen below.

<http>   <!-- ... -->   <csrf disabled="true"/> </http> 

CSRF protection is enabled by default with Java configuration. If you would like to disable CSRF, the corresponding Java configuration can be seen below. Refer to the Javadoc of csrf() for additional customizations in how CSRF protection is configured.

@EnableWebSecurity public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {  @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {   http   .csrf().disable(); } } 

See below link http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/4.0.x/reference/htmlsingle/#csrf-configure
