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.

Creating user details


The previous recipes introduced us to how to store user details using in-memory and providers and filters. This time the correct manner of storing user credentials and roles will be showcased without bothering with the providers and filters.

Getting started

Use the Maven project ch04 again and create another security model imposing the use of org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails and org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService.

How to do it...

Instead of hardcoding the user details inside the security model, we will implement a service layer that will programmatically generate a username and password for the application:

  1. Let us create the UserService interface, as follows that will generate hardcoded data for the UserDetails:
public interface UserService { 
   
  public String getUserCredentials(String username); 
  public Set<String> getuserRoles(String username); 
} 
  1. Save this file in our org.secured.mvc.service since this is...
