Spring 5.0 Cookbook

Overview of this book

The Spring framework has been the go-to framework for Java developers for quite some time. It enhances modularity, provides more readable code, and enables the developer to focus on developing the application while the underlying framework takes care of transaction APIs, remote APIs, JMX APIs, and JMS APIs. The upcoming version of the Spring Framework has a lot to offer, above and beyond the platform upgrade to Java 9, and this book will show you all you need to know to overcome common to advanced problems you might face. Each recipe will showcase some old and new issues and solutions, right from configuring Spring 5.0 container to testing its components. Most importantly, the book will highlight concurrent processes, asynchronous MVC and reactive programming using Reactor Core APIs. Aside from the core components, this book will also include integration of third-party technologies that are mostly needed in building enterprise applications. By the end of the book, the reader will not only be well versed with the essential concepts of Spring, but will also have mastered its latest features in a solution-oriented manner.

Preface

Applying Security to MVC methods


From architectural-level authorization, we go down to the access levels of our service and controller methods. This recipe will design a role-based authorization imposed on some essential transactions of the MVC application.

Getting started

We will utilize the same ch04 project, but this time we will focus on role-based authorization of the service and request methods.

How to do it...

  1. Before we apply Spring Security on some service methods, let us open the UserServiceImpl class and add the following authorization: a super-user role to hradmin by adding ROLE_USER to its existing set of authorities; ROLE_ADMIN and ROLE_USER authorities to the "admin" account; and ROLE_USER authorization to the "sjctrags" account:
@Service("userService") 
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService{ 
 
    // refer to sources 
  @Override 
  public Set<String> getuserRoles(String username) { 
    Map<String, Set<String>> roles = new HashMap<>();
