SEC-1887: Cannot override (protected) DefaultMethodSecurityExpressionHandler.createSecurityExpressionRoot

[spring-projects-issues]

Dave Syer (Migrated from SEC-1887) said:

There is some inconsistent visibility of the internals: DefaultMethodSecurityExpressionHandler.createSecurityExpressionRoot(Authentication, MethodInvocation) is protected but it returns an instance of a package private class MethodSecurityExpressionRoot. This would be fine except that {[DefaultMethodSecurityExpressionHandler.filter(Object, Expression, EvaluationContext)}} then makes an assumption that the root is of this precise type, and therefore createSecurityExpressionRoot actually cannot be overridden (which would be quite useful).

Andrei has been looking at something along these lines and has submitted a pull request which I think should cover this.
