This concrete implementation simply polls all configured
{@link AccessDecisionVoter}s and grants access if any
<code>AccessDecisionVoter</code> voted affirmatively. Denies access only if there
was a deny vote AND no affirmative votes.
<p>
If every <code>AccessDecisionVoter</code> abstained from voting, the decision will
be based on the {@link #isAllowIfAllAbstainDecisions()} property (defaults to
false).

@param authentication the caller invoking the method
@param object the secured object
@param configAttributes the configuration attributes associated with the method
being invoked

@throws AccessDeniedException if access is denied
