How the filter chain works?

Going back to the filter chain configuration in my last post, you can see a chain filters configured as shown below:
<bean id="springSecurityFilterChain" class="org.springframework.security.web.FilterChainProxy">
<sec:filter-chain-map path-type="ant">
<sec:filter-chain pattern="/SkyPhotoWeb/**" filters=" securityContextPersistenceFilterWithASCFalse, basicAuthenticationFilter, exceptionTranslationFilter, filterSecurityInterceptor" />
<sec:filter-chain pattern="/**" filters=" securityContextPersistenceFilterWithASCTrue, formLoginFilter, exceptionTranslationFilter, filterSecurityInterceptor" />
</sec:filter-chain-map>
</bean>
Let us assume that a request is send as http://www.skyphoto.com/SkyPhotoWeb/dosomething.html the request runs through the filters as shown in picture below:

In my next post I will explain all these and few other important filters in greater detail.

Big enterprises will buy CRM software (also known as packages) from top CRM vendors like Oracle, SAP, Salesforce etc and then employ an army of consultants to try and implement it. Most of the classic CRM systems in the market today, even if deployed on the cloud are the big monolithic ball of mud. They are the gigantic piece of software with the huge feature set. Most often those requirements are surplus to the requirement or they will not fit into the processes of the company. So the company has to hire these certified consu...
