One more piece of the puzzle: Setting allowedRequestAttributesPattern=".*" WORKED. So if I get the exact pattern right, that may be the answer. You'll all have to forgive me - I really don't know much about this stuff - I'm mostly a front-end developer who is sort of the "last woman standing" to support this particular application. So I don't know a lot of the basics.
