Spring Security Filters with AntPathRequestMatcher

I have a authentication filter which extends spring security, AbstractAuthenticationProcessingFilter . So in this case I can set the request matcher as below,

MyAuthenticationFilter authFilter = new MyAuthenticationFilter();
authFilter.setRequiresAuthenticationRequestMatcher(new AntPathRequestMatcher("/api/**"));

I create another filter does not necessary to have a authentication functionality. So I extend it using GenericFilterBean. In this case how I can add AntPathRequestMatcher as above?

You need to invoke RequestMatcher.matches(HttpServletRequest request)

RequestMatcher myMatcher = AntPathRequestMatcher("/api/**");
...


@Override
void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
                         FilterChain chain) {

   if (myMatcher.matches(request)) {
       ...
   } else {
       ... 
   }

   chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
