In this article we will see how to configure and integrate SpringMVC4, Spring Data JPA with Hibernate and SpringSecurity using JavaConfig.

1. Pom.xml

First let’s configure all the necessary dependencies in pom.xml

<project xmlns="https://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

2. Application properties

Configure database connection properties and email settings in application.properties

################### DataSource Configuration ##########################

jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=admin

init-db=false

################### Hibernate Configuration ##########################

hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
hibernate.show_sql=true
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update

################### JavaMail Configuration ##########################
smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com
smtp.port=465
smtp.protocol=smtps
smtp.username=sivaprasadreddy.k@gmail.com
smtp.password=
support.email=sivaprasadreddy.k@gmail.com

3. Service layer configuration

Configure common Service Layer beans such as PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer and JavaMailSender etc in com.sivalabs.springapp.config.AppConfig

package com.sivalabs.springapp.config;

import java.util.Properties;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.cache.CacheManager;
import org.springframework.cache.annotation.EnableCaching;
import org.springframework.cache.concurrent.ConcurrentMapCacheManager;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.EnableAspectJAutoProxy;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.FilterType;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource;
import org.springframework.context.support.PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableScheduling;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages={"com.sivalabs.springapp"},
		excludeFilters=@ComponentScan.Filter(type=FilterType.REGEX, pattern={"com.sivalabs.springapp.web.*"}))
@PropertySource(value = { "classpath:application.properties" })
@EnableScheduling
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@EnableCaching
public class AppConfig
{
	@Autowired
	private Environment env;

	@Bean
	public static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer placeHolderConfigurer()
	{
		return new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer();
	}

	@Bean
	public JavaMailSenderImpl javaMailSenderImpl() {
		JavaMailSenderImpl mailSenderImpl = new JavaMailSenderImpl();
		mailSenderImpl.setHost(env.getProperty("smtp.host"));
		mailSenderImpl.setPort(env.getProperty("smtp.port", Integer.class));
		mailSenderImpl.setProtocol(env.getProperty("smtp.protocol"));
		mailSenderImpl.setUsername(env.getProperty("smtp.username"));
		mailSenderImpl.setPassword(env.getProperty("smtp.password"));

		Properties javaMailProps = new Properties();
		javaMailProps.put("mail.smtp.auth", true);
		javaMailProps.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", true);

		mailSenderImpl.setJavaMailProperties(javaMailProps);

		return mailSenderImpl;
	}

	@Bean
	public CacheManager cacheManager()
	{
		return new ConcurrentMapCacheManager();
	}
}

Observe that we have excluded the package com.sivalabs.springapp.web.* from component scanning using new REGEX excludeFilter type. If we don’t exclude web related packages and try to run JUnit test for service layer beans we will encounter the following Exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A ServletContext is required to configure default servlet handling

Also note that we have enabled Caching using @EnableCaching, so we should declare CacheManager bean.

4. Persistence layer configuration

Configure Persistence Layer beans in com.sivalabs.springapp.config.PersistenceConfig.java as follows:

package com.sivalabs.springapp.config;

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.config.EnableJpaRepositories;
import org.springframework.instrument.classloading.InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.init.DataSourceInitializer;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.init.ResourceDatabasePopulator;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateExceptionTranslator;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter;
import org.springframework.transaction.PlatformTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.EnableTransactionManagement;

@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages="com.sivalabs.springapp.repositories")
public class PersistenceConfig
{
	@Autowired
	private Environment env;

	@Value("${init-db:false}")
	private String initDatabase;

	@Bean
	public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager()
	{
		EntityManagerFactory factory = entityManagerFactory().getObject();
		return new JpaTransactionManager(factory);
	}

	@Bean
	public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory()
	{
		LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean factory = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();

		HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
		vendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(Boolean.TRUE);
		vendorAdapter.setShowSql(Boolean.TRUE);

		factory.setDataSource(dataSource());
		factory.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
		factory.setPackagesToScan("com.sivalabs.springapp.entities");

		Properties jpaProperties = new Properties();
		jpaProperties.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", env.getProperty("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto"));
		factory.setJpaProperties(jpaProperties);

		factory.afterPropertiesSet();
		factory.setLoadTimeWeaver(new InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver());
		return factory;
	}

	@Bean
	public HibernateExceptionTranslator hibernateExceptionTranslator()
	{
		return new HibernateExceptionTranslator();
	}

	@Bean
	public DataSource dataSource()
	{
		BasicDataSource dataSource = new BasicDataSource();
		dataSource.setDriverClassName(env.getProperty("jdbc.driverClassName"));
		dataSource.setUrl(env.getProperty("jdbc.url"));
		dataSource.setUsername(env.getProperty("jdbc.username"));
		dataSource.setPassword(env.getProperty("jdbc.password"));
		return dataSource;
	}

	@Bean
	public DataSourceInitializer dataSourceInitializer(DataSource dataSource)
	{
		DataSourceInitializer dataSourceInitializer = new DataSourceInitializer();
		dataSourceInitializer.setDataSource(dataSource);
		ResourceDatabasePopulator databasePopulator = new ResourceDatabasePopulator();
		databasePopulator.addScript(new ClassPathResource("db.sql"));
		dataSourceInitializer.setDatabasePopulator(databasePopulator);
		dataSourceInitializer.setEnabled(Boolean.parseBoolean(initDatabase));
		return dataSourceInitializer;
	}
}

Here we have configured DataSource and JPA EntityManagerFactory bean using Hibernate implementation. Also we have configured DataSourceInitializer bean to initialize and populate our tables with seed data. We can enable/disable executing this db.sql script by changing init-db property value in application.properties. And finally we have enabled Spring Data JPA repositories scanning using @EnableJpaRepositories to scan com.sivalabs.springapp.repositories package for JPA repository interfaces.

5. Web related beans configuration

5.1. WebMvcConfig

Now let us configure Web related beans in com.sivalabs.springapp.web.config.WebMvcConfig.java 

package com.sivalabs.springapp.web.config;

import java.util.Properties;
import org.springframework.context.MessageSource;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ViewControllerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleMappingExceptionResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;


@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.sivalabs.springapp.web"})
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebMvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter
{
	@Override
	public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry)
	{
		super.addViewControllers(registry);
		registry.addViewController("login/form").setViewName("login");
		registry.addViewController("welcome").setViewName("welcome");
		registry.addViewController("admin").setViewName("admin");
	}

	@Bean
	public ViewResolver resolver()
	{
		InternalResourceViewResolver url = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
		url.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/jsp/");
		url.setSuffix(".jsp");
		return url;
	}

	@Override
	public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry)
	{
		registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/resources/");
	}

	@Override
	public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer)
	{
		configurer.enable();
	}

	@Bean(name = "messageSource")
	public MessageSource configureMessageSource()
	{
		ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
		messageSource.setBasename("classpath:messages");
		messageSource.setCacheSeconds(5);
		messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
		return messageSource;
	}

	@Bean
	public SimpleMappingExceptionResolver simpleMappingExceptionResolver()
	{
		SimpleMappingExceptionResolver b = new SimpleMappingExceptionResolver();
		Properties mappings = new Properties();
		mappings.put("org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException", "error");
		b.setExceptionMappings(mappings);
		return b;
	}
}

5.2. DispatcherService

Configure DispatcherService using AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer convinient class. 

package com.sivalabs.springapp.web.config;

import javax.servlet.Filter;
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter;
import org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer;
import com.sivalabs.springapp.config.AppConfig;

public class SpringWebAppInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer
{

	@Override
	protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses()
	{
		return new Class<?>[] { AppConfig.class};
	}

	@Override
	protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses()
	{
		return new Class<?>[] { WebMvcConfig.class };
	}

	@Override
	protected String[] getServletMappings()
	{
		return new String[] { "/" };
	}

	@Override
    protected Filter[] getServletFilters() {
       return new Filter[]{
							new OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter()
						  };
    }

}

Here few things to note are we configured AppConfig.class as RootConfig classes and WebMvcConfig.class as ServletConfigClasses which is similar to how we configure in web.xml using ContextLoaderListener and DispatcherServlet’s contextConfigLocation . Also we have registered OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter to enable lazy loading of JPA entity graphs in view rendering phase.

7. Spring security

Let us configure SpringSecurity.

First let us create a SecurityUser class which extends our application specific User class and implements org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails 

package com.sivalabs.springapp.web.config;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Set;
import org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.authority.SimpleGrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import com.sivalabs.springapp.entities.Role;
import com.sivalabs.springapp.entities.User;

public class SecurityUser extends User implements UserDetails
{

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	public SecurityUser(User user) {
		if(user != null)
		{
			this.setId(user.getId());
			this.setName(user.getName());
			this.setEmail(user.getEmail());
			this.setPassword(user.getPassword());
			this.setDob(user.getDob());
			this.setRoles(user.getRoles());
		}
	}

	@Override
	public Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> getAuthorities() {

		Collection<GrantedAuthority> authorities = new ArrayList<>();
		Set<Role> userRoles = this.getRoles();

		if(userRoles != null)
		{
			for (Role role : userRoles) {
				SimpleGrantedAuthority authority = new SimpleGrantedAuthority(role.getRoleName());
				authorities.add(authority);
			}
		}
		return authorities;
	}

	@Override
	public String getPassword() {
		return super.getPassword();
	}

	@Override
	public String getUsername() {
		return super.getEmail();
	}

	@Override
	public boolean isAccountNonExpired() {
		return true;
	}

	@Override
	public boolean isAccountNonLocked() {
		return true;
	}

	@Override
	public boolean isCredentialsNonExpired() {
		return true;
	}

	@Override
	public boolean isEnabled() {
		return true;
	}
}

We will implement a custom UserDetailsService and use Spring Data JPA repositories to load User details.

package com.sivalabs.springapp.config;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import com.sivalabs.springapp.entities.User;
import com.sivalabs.springapp.services.UserService;
import com.sivalabs.springapp.web.config.SecurityUser;

@Component
public class CustomUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService
{
	@Autowired
	private UserService userService;

	@Override
	public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String userName)
			throws UsernameNotFoundException {
		User user = userService.findUserByEmail(userName);
		if(user == null){
			throw new UsernameNotFoundException("UserName "+userName+" not found");
		}
		return new SecurityUser(user);
	}
}

Now create com.sivalabs.springapp.config.SecurityConfig.java which contains SpringSecurity related bean definitions.

package com.sivalabs.springapp.config;

import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
//import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.method.configuration.EnableGlobalMethodSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.WebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;


@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
{
	@Autowired
	private DataSource dataSource;

	@Autowired
	private CustomUserDetailsService customUserDetailsService;

	@Override
    protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder registry) throws Exception {
		/*
        registry
        .inMemoryAuthentication()
        .withUser("siva")
          .password("siva")
          .roles("USER")
          .and()
        .withUser("admin")
          .password("admin")
          .roles("ADMIN","USER");
        */

        //registry.jdbcAuthentication().dataSource(dataSource);
		registry.userDetailsService(customUserDetailsService);
    }


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

	  @Override
	  protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
	    http
	    .csrf().disable()
	    .authorizeRequests()
	        .antMatchers("/login","/login/form**","/register","/logout").permitAll()
	        .antMatchers("/admin","/admin/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
	        .anyRequest().authenticated()
	        .and()
	    .formLogin()
	        .loginPage("/login/form")
	        .loginProcessingUrl("/login")
	        .failureUrl("/login/form?error")
	        .permitAll();
	  }
}

Update SpringWebAppInitializer which we created eariler to add SecurityConfig configuration class.

public class SpringWebAppInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer
{
	@Override
	protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses()
	{
		return new Class<?>[] { AppConfig.class};
		//As we have SecurityConfig.java in same package as AppConfig.java and enabled ComponentScan to scan "com.sivalabs.springapp.config" we don't need to explicitely configure it.
		//otherwise we should add SecurityConfig.class to getRootConfigClasses()
		//return new Class<?>[] { AppConfig.class, SecurityConfig.class};
	}
	...
	...
	@Override
    protected Filter[] getServletFilters() {
       return new Filter[]{
    		   new DelegatingFilterProxy("springSecurityFilterChain"),
    		   new OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter()};
    }

}

As per our SpringSecurity custom Form Login configuration, we will use the following login form in login.jsp.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<%@taglib uri="https://www.springframework.org/tags"  prefix="spring"%>
<%@taglib uri="https://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="sec" uri="https://www.springframework.org/security/tags" %>
<%@ taglib uri="https://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" prefix="c" %>
<c:url var="rootURL" value="/"/>
<html>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
<link href="${rootURL}resources/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="${rootURL}resources/jquery/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${rootURL}resources/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${rootURL}resources/js/app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
		<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-2">
		<c:if test="${param.error != null}">
             <div class="alert alert-danger">
                 Invalid UserName and Password.
             </div>
         </c:if>
         <c:if test="${param.logout != null}">
             <div class="alert alert-success">
                 You have been logged out.
             </div>
         </c:if>
         </div>

     <div class="row">
		<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-2">
			<h2>User Login Form</h2>
			<form:form id="loginForm" method="post" action="${rootURL}login" modelAttribute="user"
		class="form-horizontal" role="form" cssStyle="width: 800px; margin: 0 auto;">
		  <div class="form-group">
		    <label for="username" class="col-sm-2 control-label">UserName*</label>
		    <div class="col-sm-4">
		      <input type="text" id="username" name="username" class="form-control" placeholder="UserName" />
		    </div>
		  </div>
		  <div class="form-group">
		    <label for="password" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Password*</label>
		    <div class="col-sm-4">
		      <input type="password" id="password" name="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" />
		    </div>
		  </div>
		  <div class="form-group">
		    <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-4">
		      <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Login">
		    </div>
		  </div>

		</form:form>
	</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Once we successfully login we can obtain the authenticated use details using and secure parts of the view using as follows:

<h3>Email: <sec:authentication property="name"/></h3>
<h3>
