Does not work in MockMvc when FilterRegistrationBean url pattern is *.
See demo

Looking at PatternMappingFilterProxy, it seems that valid patterns are one of:
* prefix matching like /*, /prefix/*
* suffix matching like /some/*.html
* strict matching like /sample
In your case, does /* work in your sample application?

/* can work

Tomcat filter support url pattern *, see FilterMap.java#L134.
But PatternMappingFilterProxy not support *

I guess it would be nice to enhance a bit the Javadoc of this class. This is really replicating the behavior with Servlet mappings in general (see Servlet spec, "Specification of Mappings" section 12.2). In this case, "*" is treated as an exact match.
I'm not sure we should copy Tomcat's behavior here as it's not consistent with Servlet mapping in general - even though changing the behavior here is unlikely to break existing applications.

I believe most business developers think * is equivalent to /*, can I mention a PR for that?

Undertow ServletPathMatches.java#L264 also support "*"
