Spring Controller method executed twice -

i have integrated spring security spring mvc , seeing strange behaviour. every method in controller executed twice same request. googled quite bit didn't much. closest find http://forum.springsource.org/archive/index.php/t-83158.html tried suggestions without success.

here web.xml :

<servlet>      <servlet-name>appservlet</servlet-name>      <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.dispatcherservlet</servlet-class>      <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup> </servlet>      <servlet-mapping>      <servlet-name>appservlet</servlet-name>      <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>  <listener>  <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.contextloaderlistener</listener-class> </listener>  <filter>   <filter-name>springsecurityfilterchain</filter-name>   <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.delegatingfilterproxy</filter-class> </filter>  <filter-mapping>   <filter-name>springsecurityfilterchain</filter-name>   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping>  <context-param>    <param-name>contextconfiglocation</param-name>    <param-value>          /web-inf/spring/appservlet/security-app-context.xml                      /web-inf/application-context.xml     </param-value> </context-param> 

here relevant part of applicationcontext.xml :

 <context:component-scan base-package="com.*" />   <context:spring-configured/>   <mvc:annotation-driven />   <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:/conf/myconfig.properties"   />  <mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" /> 

the servlet-context.xml has mapping internalresourceviewresolver

the security-context.xml follows :

<http pattern="/resources/**" security="none"/>      <http auto-config="false" create-session="stateless" entry-point-ref="loginurlauthenticationentrypoint" >         <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="is_authenticated_anonymously"/>         <intercept-url pattern="/j_spring_security_check" access="is_authenticated_anonymously"/>         <intercept-url pattern="/accessdenied" access="is_authenticated_anonymously"/>         <intercept-url pattern="/login" access="is_authenticated_anonymously"/>         <intercept-url pattern="/logout" access="role_user"/>      <custom-filter before="security_context_filter" ref="cookiesecuritycontextfilter" />     <custom-filter position="logout_filter" ref="logoutfilter" />               <custom-filter position="form_login_filter" ref="authenticationfilter" />     <custom-filter after="exception_translation_filter" ref="customexceptionfilter" />     </http>       <beans:bean id="logoutfilter" class="org.springframework.security.web.authentication.logout.logoutfilter">      <beans:constructor-arg value="/"/>      <beans:constructor-arg ref="customlogouthandler"/>     </beans:bean> 

and further mapping filters. doing wrong in configuration lead controller being called twice. have checked logs , beans instantiated once. please help.

thanks in advance.

just in case stumbles on post , solution posted here thinking fix duplicate requests, please first check if browser/rest client making additional call.

i wasted many hours trying configure app , servlet contexts "after seeing first suggested solution", until figured rest client on browsers (chrome) creating additional request "get requests on image resources". curl showed 1 method execution.

however, agree practice separate controller specific beans , required spring beans servlet-context , keep common beans in app-context. important if have multiple spring dispatcher servlet- in web.xml.

elaborating previous answer:

you can either define both component-scan , mvc in same context file keep simple.

app-context.xml:

 <context:component-scan base-package="..." />  <mvc:annotation-driven />  ... 

or separate them follows:

app-context.xml:

 <context:component-scan base-package="....">     <context:exclude-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.controller" type="annotation"/> <context:exclude-filter expression="org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.controlleradvice" type="annotation"/> <context:exclude-filter expression="org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.exceptionhandler" type="annotation"/> </context:component-scan> ... 

servlet-context.xml:

<context:component-scan base-package="...">     <context:include-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.controller" type="annotation"/>     <context:include-filter expression="org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.controlleradvice" type="annotation"/>     <context:include-filter expression="org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.exceptionhandler" type="annotation"/> </context:component-scan>  <mvc:annotation-driven />  ...
