Description

Marten Deinum (Migrated from SEC-2652) said:

It would be nice if there would be a protected accessor method for the trustResolver in DefaultWebSecurityExpressionHandler. This would make it easier for subclasses to get access to the trustResolver when a custom/extended WebSecurityExpressionRoot is added.

Research direction

Start at DefaultWebSecurityExpressionHandler, the entry point named in the issue, and inspect how its trustResolver is stored and used. Add the requested protected accessor so subclasses can reach the trustResolver when extending WebSecurityExpressionRoot; done means custom subclasses can access it without changing visibility elsewhere.
