spring security 4.0.0 java configuration with no xml

Question

I'm trying to configure a spring security without any web.xml or xml at all, but I get an error which I can't get ride of. Do I get the error because of spring framework version? or the version is in conflict with spring security?

Here are the codes and error.

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
{


@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception
{
    http.authorizeRequests()
    .antMatchers("/resources/**", "/signup", "/logout", "/login", "/default").permitAll()
    .antMatchers("/admin/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
    .antMatchers("/user/**").hasRole("USER")
    .anyRequest().authenticated()
    .and()
    .formLogin()
    .loginPage("/login").permitAll()
    .and()
    .logout()
    .deleteCookies("JSESSIONID")
    .logoutSuccessUrl("/login?logout=success")
    .logoutUrl("/logout");
}


@Bean
public BCryptPasswordEncoder getPasswordEncoder()
{
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}


@Override
public void configure(WebSecurity builder) throws Exception
{
    builder.ignoring().antMatchers("/resources/**");
}

@Bean
public AuthenticationManager getAuthenticationManager() throws Exception
{
    return super.authenticationManager();
}
}

The initializer

public class SpringWebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer
{

private static final String DISPATCHER_SERVLET_NAME = "dispatcher";
private static final String DISPATCHER_SERVLET_MAPPING = "/";

// gets invoked automatically when application starts up
public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException
{

    // Create ApplicationContext. I'm using the
    // AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext to avoid using beans xml files.
    AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext rootContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
    rootContext.register(WebMvcConfig.class);

    // Add the servlet mapping manually and make it initialize automatically
    Dynamic dispatcher = servletContext.addServlet(DISPATCHER_SERVLET_NAME, new     DispatcherServlet(rootContext));
    dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
    dispatcher.addMapping(DISPATCHER_SERVLET_MAPPING);

    EnumSet<DispatcherType> dispatcherTypes = EnumSet.of(DispatcherType.REQUEST, DispatcherType.FORWARD);
    CharacterEncodingFilter characterEncodingFilter = new CharacterEncodingFilter();
    characterEncodingFilter.setEncoding("UTF-8");
    characterEncodingFilter.setForceEncoding(true);

    FilterRegistration.Dynamic characterEncoding = servletContext.addFilter("characterEncoding", characterEncodingFilter);
    characterEncoding.addMappingForUrlPatterns(dispatcherTypes, true, "/*");

    FilterRegistration.Dynamic security = servletContext.addFilter("springSecurityFilterChain", new DelegatingFilterProxy());
    security.addMappingForUrlPatterns(dispatcherTypes, true, "/*");


    //add HiddenHttpMethodFilter  filter
    //this will make sure that spring MVC works well with PUT/DELETE requests
    //made with a hidde _method field
    HiddenHttpMethodFilter hiddenHttpMethodFilter  = new HiddenHttpMethodFilter  ();
    FilterRegistration.Dynamic hiddenHttpMethod = servletContext.addFilter("hiddenHttpMethodFilter", hiddenHttpMethodFilter);
    hiddenHttpMethod.addMappingForUrlPatterns(dispatcherTypes, true, "/*");
    hiddenHttpMethod.setAsyncSupported(true);   
    servletContext.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(rootContext));

}

}

thanks for all helps I can get.

Answer 1

Changing versions of libraries didn't solve problem in my case.

I've solved it by moving SecurityConfiguration from this definition:

@Bean
public SecurityConfiguration securityConfiguration() {
  return new SecurityConfiguration();
}

To:

context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
context.register(new Class<?>[]{AppContext.class, SecurityConfiguration.class});

Answer 2

Solved it by changing the versions to spring 3.2.8 and security to 3.2.5

Answer 3

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.reflect.Parameter.isNamePresent()Z

Seems like you are trying to run a Java 8 app on a server that has a lower jdk version.

Specifically, Parameter was only introduced in Java 8.
