In my case I want a particular URL should be accessible only to user with ROLE_ADMIN,but this is not working as even if a user doesnt have ROLE as ROLE_ADMIN,the user is able to see admin specific pages.
Here is the spring-security .xml

I am able to access /app/referencemetadatahome.html even if user doesnot have role as ROLE_ADMIN. What could be the problem?
Ok..just reorder the spring security interceptor -url to make things work
