POWhere can I find more information on spring-security annotations

Body
copied!<p>I am currently working on securing a web application using spring-security 3.0. I have gotten most of my issues figured out but I am trying to gain a better understanding of exactly what I am doing (copy and paste FTL). </p> <p>I watched <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/oredev/videos/22/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this video</a> in which he stated that the @Secured should not be used anymore except for certain situations. He also shows a list of annotations and methods that can be used (around 44:50) but doesnt explain them. He simply shows them being used. So I took a look through the documentation and found <a href="http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/3.0.x/reference/ns-config.html#ns-method-security" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>. So I add the required code to my xml file, and I try <code>@PreAuthorize("hasAuthority('ROLE_ADMIN')")</code> and it doesn't work. I then realize that hasAuthority is not a method (thank you documentation for confusing me). I change it to <code>@PreAuthorize("hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')")</code> and VOILA, it works.</p> <p>Now, I'm wondering (other then why is the documentation wrong) where can I find more information on the pre-post-annotation types and methods that were so nicely listed in the presentation? I tried the Google but maybe I'm searching for the wrong terms. Also, JSR250 annotations were mentioned as being the proper ones to use but I have found no information on this either. Is my google broken or am I simply looking in the wrong places?</p>

Querying!
