I am working with and mvc4 web application and using spring.net v2 M2 for the dependency injection.

Same as in Asp.Net MVC3: Register a custom spring aware FilterAttributeFilterProvider derive your application from SpringMvcApplication instead of HttpApplication and see the magic work. Sample impl. not production ready:

public class FilterProvider : FilterAttributeFilterProvider, IApplicationContextAware
{
    public IApplicationContext ApplicationContext
    {
        set;
        get;
    }

    public override IEnumerable<Filter> GetFilters(ControllerContext controllerContext, ActionDescriptor actionDescriptor)
    {
        var filters = base.GetFilters(controllerContext, actionDescriptor);
        foreach (var filter in filters)
        {
            ApplicationContext.ConfigureObject(filter.Instance, filter.Instance.GetType().Name);
            yield return filter;
        }
    }
}
