I am using spring security in my application where I am intercepting some URLs for authentication. Although URL "/securedMapping1" is prompting for user to login by displaying login page, the login, however, is not working. Even if I give the correct credentials, I am going back to login page with "Bad credentials" error by invoking URL for failed authentication i.e, authentication-failure-url="/login?error=true" is called every time regardless of correct/incorrect credentials. Could anyone help me figure out whats going wrong? Below is the code from important files:
