spring-filter-spike

Demonstration of a trap I ran into using filters in Spring. Exposing FilterRegistrationBeans with the same name in two different configuration classes will cause only one filter to be loaded (non-deterministically as of the time I wrote this, which was 01/16) and the other to silently be ignored.

This spike sets up a Spring Boot app with a single endpoint at /hello/{name}. Expected outcome of the X-Color header in the response is teal, however the actual outcome (as of 01/16) is green or blue, depending on which filter is loaded.
