How to configure two spring security http elements with different authentication filters?

I am using Spring 3.1.1.RELEASE with the accompanying Spring protection. I am deploying JBoss 7.1.1.Final. I would like to configure two http security elements, each with a different authentication filter. How can I do it? With the Spring security configuration below, I get the exception "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: the universal matching pattern ('/ **') is defined before other patterns in the filter chain when deploying my WAR. If I comment on the second http block (" pdSecurity "), everything will load fine.

<http pattern="/activities/**" security="none" /> <http pattern="/audio/**" security="none" /> <http pattern="/bootstrap/**" security="none" /> <http pattern="/bootstrap-editable/**" security="none" /> <http pattern="/css/**" security="none" /> <http pattern="/images/**" security="none" /> <http pattern="/js/**" security="none" /> <http pattern="/resources/**" security="none" /> <http pattern="/temp/**" security="none" /> <http name="defaultSecurity" security-context-repository-ref="subcoSecurityContextRepository" auto-config="false" use-expressions="true" authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager" access-denied-page="/denied" entry-point-ref="loginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint"> <custom-filter position="FORM_LOGIN_FILTER" ref="subcoUsernamePasswordUrlAuthenticationFilter" /> <intercept-url pattern="/login" access="permitAll" /> <intercept-url pattern="/logout" access="permitAll" /> <intercept-url pattern="/denied" access="isAuthenticated()" /> <intercept-url pattern="/welcome" access="permitAll" /> <intercept-url pattern="/authenticate" access="permitAll" /> <intercept-url pattern="/user" access="hasAnyRole('User','Administrator')" /> <intercept-url pattern="/landing" access="hasAnyRole('User','Student','Teacher','Administrator')" /> <intercept-url pattern="/book/*" access="hasAnyRole('User','Student','Teacher','Administrator')" /> <intercept-url pattern="/admin" access="hasRole('Administrator')" /> <intercept-url pattern="/admin/*" access="hasRole('Administrator')" /> <intercept-url pattern="/getResource" access="hasAnyRole('Student','Teacher','Administrator')" /> <logout invalidate-session="true" logout-success-url="/logout" logout-url="/j_spring_security_logout" /> </http> <!-- Reg controller for PD --> <http name="pdSecurity" auto-config="false" use-expressions="true" authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager" access-denied-page="/denied" entry-point-ref="loginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint"> <custom-filter position="FORM_LOGIN_FILTER" ref="pdUsernamePasswordUrlAuthenticationFilter"/> <intercept-url pattern="/pdregistration/regfailure" access="hasAnyRole('Teacher')"/> <intercept-url pattern="/pdregistration/regsuccess" access="hasAnyRole('Teacher')"/> <logout invalidate-session="true" logout-success-url="/logout" logout-url="/j_spring_security_logout" /> </http> 

Here is the exception ...

In the second <http> element (named pdSecurity), use the pattern attribute: <http pattern='/pdregistration/*'... and move it in front of your value 'defaultSecurity' <http> element.

According to Spring Security Documentation :

From Spring Security 3.1, you can now use multiple http elements to define individual security filter chain configurations for different request patterns. If the template attribute is omitted from the http element, it matches all requests.

... and another relevant part about several <http> elements here :

Each element creates a filter chain inside the internal FilterChainProxy filter and a URL pattern that must be mapped to it. Elements will be added in the order in which they are declared, so the most specific templates must be declared first.
