CharacterEncodingFilter don't work together with Spring Security 3.2.0

I'm new to Spring MVC framework and I have got an issue that I can not resolve by myself. Everything started when I integrated spring security with my application, after that all unicode values from HTML form were not encoded (spring security works correctly). I came to conclusion that this is happening probably because my DelegatingFilterProxy is called as the first filter in the chain.

Here is my configuration that I thought will work, but it doesn't:

1)I'm extending AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer - from javadoc:

Registers the DelegatingFilterProxy to use the springSecurityFilterChain() before any
other registered Filter.

From that class I also override beforeSpringSecurityFilterChain method which regarding to javadoc:

Invoked before the springSecurityFilterChain is added.

So I thought this will be the best place to register CharacterEncodingFilter:

public class MessageSecurityWebApplicationInitializer extends AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer {
    @Override
    protected void beforeSpringSecurityFilterChain(ServletContext servletContext) {
        FilterRegistration.Dynamic characterEncodingFilter = servletContext.addFilter("encodingFilter", new CharacterEncodingFilter());
        characterEncodingFilter.setInitParameter("encoding", "UTF-8");
        characterEncodingFilter.setInitParameter("forceEncoding", "true");
        characterEncodingFilter.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, true, "/*");
    }
}

But this do not work.

Another option I tired was to register filter through AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer class by overriding getServletFilters() method:

public class WebAppInitializer extends
        AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {

    //{!begin addToRootContext}
    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
        return new Class<?>[] { SecurityConfig.class, DatabaseConfig.class, InternationalizationConfig.class };
    }
    //{!end addToRootContext}

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class<?>[] { WebAppConfig.class };
    }

    @Override
    protected String[] getServletMappings() {
        return new String[] { "/" };
    }

    @Override
    protected Filter[] getServletFilters() {

        CharacterEncodingFilter characterEncodingFilter = new CharacterEncodingFilter();
        characterEncodingFilter.setEncoding("UTF-8");
        characterEncodingFilter.setForceEncoding(true);
        return new Filter[] { characterEncodingFilter};
    }
}

But this do not work neither. Does anyone come across the same issue or have got some ideas how to resolve this?

Here is my full configuration for the first option where I'm registering encoding filter through AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer:

@Order(1)
public class MessageSecurityWebApplicationInitializer extends AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer {
    @Override
    protected void beforeSpringSecurityFilterChain(ServletContext servletContext) {
        FilterRegistration.Dynamic characterEncodingFilter = servletContext.addFilter("encodingFilter", new CharacterEncodingFilter());
        characterEncodingFilter.setInitParameter("encoding", "UTF-8");
        characterEncodingFilter.setInitParameter("forceEncoding", "true");
        characterEncodingFilter.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, true, "/*");
    }
}

@Order(2)
public class WebAppInitializer extends
        AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {

    //{!begin addToRootContext}
    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
        return new Class<?>[] { SecurityConfig.class, DatabaseConfig.class, InternationalizationConfig.class };
    }
    //{!end addToRootContext}

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class<?>[] { WebAppConfig.class };
    }

    @Override
    protected String[] getServletMappings() {
        return new String[] { "/" };
    }
}

@EnableWebMvc
//@Import(value = {DatabaseConfig.class, InternationalizationConfig.class, SecurityConfig.class})
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.ajurasz.controller", "com.ajurasz.service", "com.ajurasz.model"})
@Configuration
public class WebAppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    @Bean
    public UrlBasedViewResolver viewResolver() {
        UrlBasedViewResolver urlBasedViewResolver = new UrlBasedViewResolver();
        urlBasedViewResolver.setViewClass(TilesView.class);
        urlBasedViewResolver.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        return urlBasedViewResolver;
    }

    @Bean
    public TilesConfigurer tilesConfigurer() {
        TilesConfigurer tilesConfigurer = new TilesConfigurer();
        tilesConfigurer.setDefinitions(new String[] {"/WEB-INF/tiles.xml"});
        return tilesConfigurer;
    }

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/resources/**");
        registry.addResourceHandler("/documents/**").addResourceLocations("/WEB-INF/pdfs/documents/**");
    }

    @Override
    public void addArgumentResolvers(List<HandlerMethodArgumentResolver> argumentResolvers) {
        PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver pageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver =
                new PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver();
        pageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver.setFallbackPageable(new PageRequest(0, 4, new Sort(Sort.Direction.DESC, "id")));

        argumentResolvers.add(pageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver);
    }
}

Dependencies:

spring-mvc 3.2.5.RELEASE

spring-security-config, spring-security-web, spring-security-core 3.2.0.RELEASE

I'm working on this under following link: https://github.com/ajurasz/Manager

Have the same problem. My solution was to use a raw servlet filter:

public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
      FilterRegistration.Dynamic encodingFilter = servletContext.addFilter("encoding-filter", new CharacterEncodingFilter());
      encodingFilter.setInitParameter("encoding", "UTF-8");
      encodingFilter.setInitParameter("forceEncoding", "true");
      encodingFilter.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, true, "/*");
}

Note that this problem only occures with Tomcat but not with Jetty.
