Description

SocialAuthenticationFilter extends GenericFilterBean, but lots of code copied from AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter. It is better to extend AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter.

A spring-security issue ~~SEC-2102~~ was raised to add redirect handling in AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter. See https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SEC-2102.

See https://github.com/jiwhiz/spring-social/tree/security-refactor for the code changes.
