Spring RememberMeAuthenticationFilter Security Not Running

Question

I am trying to integrate RememberMe functions inside Spring 3 webapp. The application works well and does not show any other problems.

When I turn on the Remember Me check, the cookie will be correctly created and sent with any request (I tested it with Firebug and Chrome DevExtensions).

When I close and reopen the browser, the cookie is still alive and sent, but the RememberMe filter does not start, and the next filter in the chain is an anonymous filter, the user is authenticated as anonymous and sent back to the login page.

Any idea why?

Relevant part of applicationContext:

<security:http>
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/login.jsp*" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/stylesheets/**" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/javascripts/**" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/images/**" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/impianti/public/**" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/buoni/public/**" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/admin/*" access="ROLE_ADMIN" />
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
    <security:form-login login-page="/login.jsp" authentication-failure-url="/login.jsp" default-target-url="/index.html" />
    <security:http-basic />
    <security:logout logout-success-url="/login_redirect.jsp" logout-url="/logout" />
    <security:remember-me/>
</security:http>

<security:authentication-manager>
    <security:authentication-provider>
        <security:password-encoder hash="md5" />
        <security:jdbc-user-service data-source-ref="dataSource"/>
    </security:authentication-provider>
</security:authentication-manager>
