I am facing an unsolvable problem with my poor spring configuration knowledge: every GET return error 404 and every POST return error 405. My spring security filters work well but neither @PostMapping or @GetMapping annotated methods are getting called. I have taken care of rename old property server.context-path to new name server.servlet.context-path but it still not working. I use undertow webserver:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-undertow</artifactId>
<version>${springBoot.version}</version>
</dependency>
My app.properties file is really named application.mssql.properties:
## Hibernate properties
... some properties ...
##Spring boot properties
server.servlet.context-path =/my-context
And this server instance configuration is in my ApplicationConfiguration:
@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = {
"t.i.DAO",
"t.i.SERVICES",
"t.i.config",
"t.i.config.security" })
@PropertySource({ "classpath:application.mssql.properties" })
@EnableCaching
@EnableTransactionManagement
public class ApplicationConfiguration {
// Properties of application.mssql.properties file
@Autowired
private Environment env;
... some code there...
@Bean
public ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory undertowServerInstance() {
UndertowServletWebServerFactory customizer = new UndertowServletWebServerFactory();
customizer.addBuilderCustomizers((builder) -> {
builder.setServerOption(UndertowOptions.ENABLE_HTTP2, true);
});
// EDIT: add: set the context by reading app.properties
customizer.setContextPath(env.getProperty("server.servlet.context-path"));
return customizer;
}
}
Notice that with my old spring 1.5 configuration, the method undertowServerInstance() was different:
@Bean
public EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer undertowServerInstance() {
return (container) -> {
if(container instanceof UndertowEmbeddedServletContainerFactory) {
((UndertowEmbeddedServletContainerFactory) container)
.addBuilderCustomizers(builder -> builder.setServerOption(UndertowOptions.ENABLE_HTTP2, true));
}
};
}
I use a Spring security configuration class SecurityConfig like this:
package t.i.config;
@Configuration
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true) // allows AOP @PreAuthorize and some other annotations to be applied to methods.
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableScheduling // allows to run Spring schedulers and periodically run some tasks. We use scheduler for evicting EhCache tokens.
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
... some code for security configuration ...
// adding authentication filter
http.addFilterBefore(new AuthenticationFilter(this.authenticationManager), BasicAuthenticationFilter.class);
}
}
This class is used to generate a new token from user credentials or check token validity if it is present on header (this filter is called for every requests and it still work):
package t.i.config.security;
public class AuthenticationFilter extends GenericFilterBean {
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
try {
// check or create token. Exception if credentials or token invalid
}
catch(AuthenticationException authenticationException){
((HttpServletResponse) http).sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED, authenticationException.getMessage());
return;
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
}
This is my WebMvcConfig which contain @RestController classes package location (edit: added implements WebMvcConfigurer) :
package t.i.config;
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"t.i.controllers"})
public class WebMvcConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
... code there ...
}
And, for example, when I call /api/authenticate
URL, my spring authentication filter method is called and token created but this WS is never called (returning 405 instead):
package t.i.controllers;
@RestController
public class AuthenticationController {
@PostMapping("api/authenticate")
public UserDTO authenticate(AuthenticationWithToken principal) {
... some code there that is never called with spring boot 2.0 ...
return userDTO;
}
}
I still don't understand this problem and I think something is missing in Undertow configuration.
EDIT: In the ApplicationConfiguration.undertowServerInstance()
method, if I remove the line:
// EDIT: add: set the context by reading app.properties
customizer.setContextPath(env.getProperty("server.servlet.context-path"));
Then the AuthenticationFilter is not triggered any more. With spring boot 1.5 I never need to explicitly specify Undertow context.
EDIT: I changed my authentication WS method to GET:
package t.i.CONTROLLERS;
@RestController
public class AuthenticationController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/api/authenticate", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public UserDTO authenticate(AuthenticationWithToken principal) {
... some code there that is still never called with spring boot 2.0 ...
return userDTO;
}
}
The authentication filter works well but method AuthenticationController.authenticate
is still not called. This is that I got with chrome debugger:
In summary:
- I have 404 error with get request and 405 with post
- Undertow need the context to be set explicitly otherwise my Authentication filter is not called
