Spring MVC security with jdbc database authentication example using XML configuration

STEP 1:- To perform database authentication, you have to create tables to store the users and roles detail. Here are the MySQL scripts to create users and user_roles tables.
  • Table: users
CREATE  TABLE users (
  username VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL ,
  password VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL ,
  enabled TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 ,
  PRIMARY KEY (username));

  • Table: user_roles
CREATE TABLE user_roles (
  user_role_id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  username varchar(60) NOT NULL,
  role varchar(60) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (user_role_id),
  UNIQUE KEY uni_username_role (role,username),
  KEY fk_username_idx (username),
  CONSTRAINT fk_username FOREIGN KEY (username) REFERENCES users (username));


  • here is insert script
insert into users values('user','123456',1)
insert into users values('apiuser','123456',1)
insert into users values('admin','123456',1)

insert into user_roles values('user','ROLE_USER')
insert into user_roles values('admin','ROLE_USER')
insert into user_roles values('admin','ROLE_ADMIN')
insert into user_roles values('admin','ROLE_API')
insert into user_roles values('apiuser','ROLE_USER')
insert into user_roles values('apiuser','ROLE_API')

STEP 2:- Open Eclipse and Create Dynamic Web Project named SpringSecurityDBAuthXMLConfig

STEP 3:- Make sure you use Target Runtime as Apache Tomcat 7.0. 

STEP 4:- copy below jars to WEB-INF/lib folder.
  • commons-logging-1.2.jar
  • mysql-connector-java-5.1.38.jar
  • spring-aop-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-beans-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-context-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-core-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-dao-2.0.8.jar
  • spring-expression-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-jdbc-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-security-config-4.0.2.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-security-core-4.0.2.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-security-web-4.0.2.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-web-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
  • spring-webmvc-4.1.4.RELEASE.jar
STEP 5:- Create Spring Configuration Bean file. /WebContent/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" 
 xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">
 
 <context:component-scan base-package="com.tutorialsdesk.controller" />
 
 <bean id="viewResolver"
 class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
 <property name="viewClass"
 value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
 <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
 <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
 </bean>
 
 <mvc:annotation-driven/>
 
</beans>

STEP 6:- Create Spring security configuration file. /WebContent/WEB-INF/spring-security.xml
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
 xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/security 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security.xsd">
 
 <http auto-config="true" >
 
 <intercept-url pattern="/" access="permitAll" />
 
 <intercept-url pattern="/home" access="permitAll" />
 
 <intercept-url pattern="/admin**"
access="hasRole('ADMIN')" />
 
 <intercept-url pattern="/api**" access="hasRole('ADMIN')
or hasRole('API')" />
 
 <!-- access denied page -->
 <access-denied-handler error-page="/Access_Denied" />
 
 <form-login 
 login-processing-url="/login"
 login-page="/login" 
 default-target-url="/home" 
 username-parameter="username"
 password-parameter="password"
 authentication-failure-url="/login?error"/>
 <!-- enable csrf protection -->
 <csrf/>
 
 </http>
 
 <!-- Select users and user_roles from database -->
 <authentication-manager>
 <authentication-provider>
 <jdbc-user-service data-source-ref="dataSource"
 users-by-username-query=
 "select username,password, enabled from users where username=?"
 authorities-by-username-query=
 "select username, role from user_roles where username =? " />
 </authentication-provider>
 </authentication-manager>
</beans:beans>

STEP 7 :- Create Spring datasource configuration files in /WebContent/WEB-INF/application-context.xml file as below :-
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
 xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" 
 xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
 http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">
 
 <bean id="dataSource"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
 <property name="driverClassName" value="${db.driver}" />
 <property name="url" value="${db.jdbcurl}" />
 <property name="username" value="${db.username}" />
 <property name="password" value="${db.password}" />
 </bean>
 
 <context:property-placeholder location="/WEB-INF/db.properties" />
 
</beans>

STEP 8 :- Create db properties files in /WebContent/WEB-INF/db.properties file as below :-
db.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
db.jdbcurl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
db.username=root
db.password=password

STEP 9 :- Map Spring configuration files in /WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml file as below :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" version="3.0">
 <display-name>SpringSecurityDBAuthXMLConfig</display-name>
 <servlet>
 <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>
 org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
 </servlet-class>
 <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 <context-param>
 <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
 <param-value>
 /WEB-INF/spring-security.xml
 /WEB-INF/application-context.xml
 </param-value>
 </context-param>
 <listener>
 <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
 </listener>
 <filter>
 <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
 <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
 </filter>
 <filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
 <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>
</web-app>

STEP 10 :- Create Controller Class.
  • Package: com.tutorialsdesk.controller
  • Filename: HelloWorldController.java
package com.tutorialsdesk.controller;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.springframework.security.core.Authentication;
import org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolder;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import
org.springframework.security.web.authentication.logout.SecurityContextLogoutHandler;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;

@Controller
public class HelloWorldController {

 @RequestMapping(value = { "/", "/login" }, method =
RequestMethod.GET)
 public String loginPage(ModelMap model, @RequestParam(value = "error",
required = false) String error) {
 
 if (error != null) {
 model.addAttribute("error", "Invalid username and password!");
 }
 return "login";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value = { "/home" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String homePage(ModelMap model) {
 model.addAttribute("greeting", "Hi, Welcome to mysite. ");
 return "welcome";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value = "/admin", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String adminPage(ModelMap model) {
 model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
 return "admin";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value = "/api", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String dbaPage(ModelMap model) {
 model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
 return "api";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value="/logout", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String logoutPage (ModelMap model,HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
 Authentication auth = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
 if (auth != null){ 
 new SecurityContextLogoutHandler().logout(request, response, auth);
 }
 model.addAttribute("msg", "You've been logged out
successfully.");
 return "login";
 }
 
 @RequestMapping(value = "/Access_Denied", method = RequestMethod.GET)
 public String accessDeniedPage(ModelMap model) {
 model.addAttribute("user", getPrincipal());
 return "accessDenied";
 }
 
 private String getPrincipal(){
 String userName = null;
 Object principal =
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
 
 if (principal instanceof UserDetails) {
 userName = ((UserDetails)principal).getUsername();
 } else {
 userName = principal.toString();
 }
 return userName;
 }
}

STEP 11 :- Create jsp files in /WebContent/WEB-INF/views folder
