The JSONToGRPC GatewayFilter Factory converts a JSON payload to a gRPC request.
+[[jsontogrpc-dependencies]]
+== Required Dependencies
+
+The `JsonToGrpc` filter depends on gRPC and Protobuf libraries that are not included transitively.
+You must add the following dependencies to your project:
+
+.pom.xml
+[source,xml]
+----
+
+ io.grpc
+ grpc-netty
+
+
+ io.grpc
+ grpc-protobuf
+
+
+ io.grpc
+ grpc-stub
+
+
+ com.google.protobuf
+ protobuf-java-util
+
+----
+
+.build.gradle
+[source,groovy]
+----
+implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-netty'
+implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-protobuf'
+implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-stub'
+implementation 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java-util'
+----
+
+The filter is only auto-configured when `io.grpc.Channel` is present on the classpath.
+If the dependencies are not present, the filter will not be available and attempts to use it will fail at startup or with a `NoClassDefFoundError` at request time.
+
+NOTE: The gRPC and Protobuf versions are managed by the Spring Cloud Gateway BOM.
+If you import `spring-cloud-dependencies` or `spring-cloud-starter-parent`, no explicit version is required.
+
The filter takes the following arguments:
* `service`: Short name of the service that handles the request.

+[[spring-security]]
+= Spring Security Integration
+
+Spring Cloud Gateway Server WebFlux can integrate with https://spring.io/projects/spring-security[Spring Security] to add authentication, authorization, and other security features to your gateway.
+
+[[spring-security-dependencies]]
+== Including Spring Security
+
+To include Spring Security in your Spring Cloud Gateway Server WebFlux project, add the following dependency:
+
+.pom.xml
+[source,xml]
+----
+
+ org.springframework.boot
+ spring-boot-starter-security
+
+----
+
+.build.gradle
+[source,groovy]
+----
+implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security'
+----
+
+Once Spring Security is on the classpath, a default `SecurityWebFilterChain` bean is auto-configured that denies all requests unless explicitly permitted.
+You must configure your own `SecurityWebFilterChain` bean to specify your desired security rules.
+See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/reference/reactive/configuration/webflux.html[Spring Security WebFlux documentation] for details.
+
+[[spring-security-firewall]]
+== HTTP Firewall
+
+When Spring Security is included, a `ServerWebExchangeFirewall` is applied to all incoming requests.
+By default, Spring Security configures a `StrictServerWebExchangeFirewall`, which rejects requests that contain potentially dangerous patterns in the URL, such as:
+
+* URL-encoded characters (e.g., `%2F` for `/`)
+* Semi-colon characters
+* Normalized path traversal sequences
+
+Because Spring Cloud Gateway acts as a reverse proxy, legitimate downstream requests may contain URL patterns that the default firewall rejects.
+For example, when using the xref:spring-cloud-gateway-server-webflux/request-predicates-factories.adoc[`Path` predicate], URL-encoded characters in the path must be allowed through the firewall.
+
+To relax the firewall rules, configure a custom `StrictServerWebExchangeFirewall` bean:
+
+.SecurityConfiguration.java
+[source,java]
+----
+@Configuration
+@EnableWebFluxSecurity
+public class SecurityConfiguration {
+
+ @Bean
+ public StrictServerWebExchangeFirewall httpFirewall() {
+ StrictServerWebExchangeFirewall firewall = new StrictServerWebExchangeFirewall();
+ firewall.setAllowUrlEncodedPercent(true);
+ firewall.setAllowUrlEncodedSlash(true);
+ return firewall;
+ }
+
+ @Bean
+ public SecurityWebFilterChain springSecurityFilterChain(ServerHttpSecurity http,
+ StrictServerWebExchangeFirewall firewall) {
+ return http
+ .httpFirewall(firewall)
+ .authorizeExchange(exchanges -> exchanges
+ .anyExchange().authenticated())
+ .build();
+ }
+}
+----
+
+NOTE: Be cautious when relaxing firewall restrictions.
+Only allow URL-encoded characters that are required for your specific routing rules.
+Overly permissive firewall settings may expose your application to security vulnerabilities.
+See the https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/reference/servlet/exploits/firewall.html[Spring Security HTTP Firewall documentation] for a complete reference.
+
+[[spring-security-oauth2]]
+== OAuth2 and Token Relay
+
+Spring Cloud Gateway Server WebFlux supports OAuth2 login and token relay to downstream services.
+See the xref:spring-cloud-gateway-server-webflux/gatewayfilter-factories/tokenrelay-factory.adoc[`TokenRelay` `GatewayFilter` Factory] documentation for details.

+
+[[spring-security-firewall]]
+== HTTP Firewall
+
+When Spring Security is included, an `HttpFirewall` is applied to all incoming requests.
+By default, Spring Security configures a `StrictHttpFirewall`, which rejects requests that contain potentially dangerous patterns in the URL, such as:
+
+* URL-encoded characters (e.g., `%2F` for `/`)
+* Semi-colon characters
+* Normalized path traversal sequences
+
+Because Spring Cloud Gateway acts as a reverse proxy, legitimate downstream requests may contain URL patterns that the default firewall rejects.
+For example, when proxying requests whose paths include URL-encoded characters, you must relax the corresponding firewall restrictions.
+
+To customize the firewall rules, configure a custom `StrictHttpFirewall` bean:

+public class SecurityConfiguration {
+
+ @Bean

+
+[[spring-security-filter-ordering]]
+== Filter Ordering with Spring Security
+
+Spring Cloud Gateway Server MVC relies on Spring MVC's `DispatcherServlet` and servlet filters.
+When using Spring Security, the `SecurityFilterChain` is applied via a `DelegatingFilterProxy` registered at `Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE`.
+If you have custom gateway filters or servlet filters, ensure they are ordered correctly relative to Spring Security's filter chain.
+
+See xref:spring-cloud-gateway-server-webmvc/working-with-servlets-and-filters.adoc[Working with Servlets and Servlet Filters] for details on filter ordering.
+
+[[spring-security-oauth2]]
+== OAuth2 and Token Relay
+
+Spring Cloud Gateway Server MVC supports OAuth2 login and token relay to downstream services.
+See the xref:spring-cloud-gateway-server-webmvc/filters/tokenrelay.adoc[`TokenRelay` Filter] documentation for details.
