Browser caches user authorities when using Waffle security

When using Waffle security (with Spring security, in my case) I discovered that both Internet Explorer (9) and Firefox (5) caches authorities bounded to user. I discovered this when I’ve chagned required user group to access my application and then I added current user to required group but no change. I couldn’t gain access. After some debugging it appeared that Waffle returns unchanged set of authorities for current user.
Reloading browser, tomcat and clearing all caches and data didn’t work. I’m sure that Chrome would work neither.
Firefox has convenient way to clear active logins. Click Tools-> Clear recent history -> [check]active logins

Finally I got the solution – user should logout and login again into windows box…

Custom SonarQube rules for Unit Tests

It's a tutorial about creating new rules for SonarQube analysis to be applied to Unit Tests. It is not trivial and involves a few tricky database steps, so I want to share my tutorial about it.It's a tutorial about creating new rules for SonarQube analysis to be applied to Unit Tests.
