I'm using JPA and Olingo for some REST services. I was able to get the basic implementation working with my entities similar to the example here: JPA Olingo Web App.
However Now I'm trying to add authorization where I join to access tables and then filter the results accordingly. I'm just wondering if there is a good way of doing this without having to override default behavior. I have seen the annotation processor here Annotation Processor for EDM but it doesn't seem to fit our model very well.
My question is this: Is there an easy way to change the Olingo JPA Processor to join tables and filter entities by default in order to implement authorization? This will require me to be able to pass in accounts to filter and also limit all results.
I have also tried pre-processing and post-processing as described here. Custom JPA Processor However, the filtering needs to be done in the query not after returning the results because the JPA query will return too many results and is long and costly to convert thousands of objects.
So far I've implemented a CustomODataJPAProcessor. However, it will require me to now rewrite and override the org.apache.olingo.odata2.jpa.processor.core.access.data.JPAProcessorImpl#processmethod and modify the JPA Query with my desired functionality. You'll see that I implemented a new JPAProcessor where I call process and send in my accounts. Here's what my code looks like in the readEntitySet method of my CustomODataJPAProcessor:
/* Pre Process Step */
preprocess( );
List<String> accounts = new ArrayList<>();
//This is what the original readEntitySet does
//ODataJPAFactory.createFactory().getODataJPAAccessFactory().getODataJPAResponseBuilder(oDataJPAContext);
//Using custom JPA Processor that I added
jpaProcessor = new CustomJPAProcessor(this.oDataJPAContext);
CustomJPAProcessor customJPAProcessor = (CustomJPAProcessor)jpaProcessor;
List<Object> jpaEntities = customJPAProcessor.process(uriParserResultView, accounts);
//What the docs want you to do http://olingo.apache.org/doc/odata2/tutorials/CustomODataJPAProcessor.html
//java.util.List<Object> jpaEntities = jpaProcessor.process(uriParserResultView);
/* Post Process Step */
postProcess( );
Source of this tutorial
I have used this tutorial for making JWT auth in this olingo JPA app. I have just copied the whole content for future that if the source link is not anymore valid, people could have this chance to access it!
You need to adapt the sample for your usecase, i.e. the packages must change and the libraries must added to pom.xml file. Of course you don't need to add HelloWorldController
but add the rest files to the similar folders in your application and it will request for jwt token before serving odata.csv/$metadata
or the rest of the requests!
Spring Boot Security + JWT Hello World Example - The Startup
In this tutorial, we will be developing a Spring Boot application that makes use of JWT authentication for securing an exposed REST API. In this example, we will be making use of hard-coded user values for user authentication. In the next section, we will be implementing Spring Boot + JWT + MYSQL JPA for storing and fetching user credentials. Any user will be able to consume this API only if it has a valid JSON Web Token (JWT).
For better understanding, we will be developing the project in stages:
Develop a Spring Boot application that exposes a simple REST GET API with mapping /hello.
Configure Spring Security for JWT. Expose REST POST API with mapping/authenticate using which User will get a valid JSON Web Token. And then, allow the user access to the API /hello only if it has a valid token
Develop a Spring Boot Application That Exposes a GET REST API
The Maven project will look as follows:
The pom.xml is as follows:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Create a Controller class for exposing a GET REST API-
package com.javainuse.controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
public class HelloWorldController {
@RequestMapping({ "/hello" })
public String firstPage() {
return "Hello World";
}
}
Create the bootstrap class with Spring Boot Annotation
package com.javainuse;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootHelloWorldApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringBootHelloWorldApplication.class, args);
}
}
Compile and the run the SpringBootHelloWorldApplication.java as a Java application.
Go to localhost:8080/hello
Spring Security and JWT Configuration
We will be configuring Spring Security and JWT for performing 2 operations-
- Generating JWT — Expose a POST API with mapping /authenticate. On passing correct username and password it will generate a JSON Web Token(JWT)
- Validating JWT — If user tries to access GET API with mapping /hello. It will allow access only if request has a valid JSON Web Token(JWT)
Maven Project will be as follows-
The sequence flow for these operations will be as follows-
Generating JWT
Validating JWT
Add the Spring Security and JWT dependencies

Define the application.properties. We specify the secret key using which we will be using for hashing algorithm. The secret key is combined with the header and the payload to create a unique hash. We are only able to verify this hash if you have the secret key.
jwt.secret=javainuse
JwtTokenUtil
The JwtTokenUtil is responsible for performing JWT operations like creation and validation.It makes use of the io.jsonwebtoken.Jwts for achieving this.
package com.javainuse.config;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.function.Function;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import io.jsonwebtoken.Claims;
import io.jsonwebtoken.Jwts;
import io.jsonwebtoken.SignatureAlgorithm;
@Component
public class JwtTokenUtil implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -2550185165626007488L;
public static final long JWT_TOKEN_VALIDITY = 5 * 60 * 60;
@Value("${jwt.secret}")
private String secret;
//retrieve username from jwt token
public String getUsernameFromToken(String token) {
return getClaimFromToken(token, Claims::getSubject);
}
//retrieve expiration date from jwt token
public Date getExpirationDateFromToken(String token) {
return getClaimFromToken(token, Claims::getExpiration);
}
public <T> T getClaimFromToken(String token, Function<Claims, T> claimsResolver) {
final Claims claims = getAllClaimsFromToken(token);
return claimsResolver.apply(claims);
}
//for retrieveing any information from token we will need the secret key
private Claims getAllClaimsFromToken(String token) {
return Jwts.parser().setSigningKey(secret).parseClaimsJws(token).getBody();
}
//check if the token has expired
private Boolean isTokenExpired(String token) {
final Date expiration = getExpirationDateFromToken(token);
return expiration.before(new Date());
}
//generate token for user
public String generateToken(UserDetails userDetails) {
Map<String, Object> claims = new HashMap<>();
return doGenerateToken(claims, userDetails.getUsername());
}
//while creating the token -
//1. Define claims of the token, like Issuer, Expiration, Subject, and the ID
//2. Sign the JWT using the HS512 algorithm and secret key.
//3. According to JWS Compact Serialization(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-signature-41#section-3.1)
// compaction of the JWT to a URL-safe string
private String doGenerateToken(Map<String, Object> claims, String subject) {
return Jwts.builder().setClaims(claims).setSubject(subject).setIssuedAt(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()))
.setExpiration(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + JWT_TOKEN_VALIDITY * 1000))
.signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS512, secret).compact();
}
//validate token
public Boolean validateToken(String token, UserDetails userDetails) {
final String username = getUsernameFromToken(token);
return (username.equals(userDetails.getUsername()) && !isTokenExpired(token));
}
}
JWTUserDetailsService
JWTUserDetailsService implements the Spring Security UserDetailsService interface. It overrides the loadUserByUsername for fetching user details from the database using the username. The Spring Security Authentication Manager calls this method for getting the user details from the database when authenticating the user details provided by the user. Here we are getting the user details from a hardcoded User List. Also the password for a user is stored in encrypted format using BCrypt.
package com.javainuse.service;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User;
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.Service;
@Service
public class JwtUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService {
@Override
public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
if ("javainuse".equals(username)) {
return new User("javainuse", "$2a$10$slYQmyNdGzTn7ZLBXBChFOC9f6kFjAqPhccnP6DxlWXx2lPk1C3G6",
new ArrayList<>());
} else {
throw new UsernameNotFoundException("User not found with username: " + username);
}
}
}
JwtAuthenticationController
Expose a POST API /authenticate using the JwtAuthenticationController. The POST API gets username and password in the body- Using Spring Authentication Manager we authenticate the username and password.If the credentials are valid, a JWT token is created using the JWTTokenUtil and provided to the client.
package com.javainuse.controller;
import java.util.Objects;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.AuthenticationManager;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.BadCredentialsException;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.DisabledException;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.javainuse.service.JwtUserDetailsService;
import com.javainuse.config.JwtTokenUtil;
import com.javainuse.model.JwtRequest;
import com.javainuse.model.JwtResponse;
@RestController
@CrossOrigin
public class JwtAuthenticationController {
@Autowired
private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
@Autowired
private JwtTokenUtil jwtTokenUtil;
@Autowired
private JwtUserDetailsService userDetailsService;
@RequestMapping(value = "/authenticate", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<?> createAuthenticationToken(@RequestBody JwtRequest authenticationRequest) throws Exception {
authenticate(authenticationRequest.getUsername(), authenticationRequest.getPassword());
final UserDetails userDetails = userDetailsService
.loadUserByUsername(authenticationRequest.getUsername());
final String token = jwtTokenUtil.generateToken(userDetails);
return ResponseEntity.ok(new JwtResponse(token));
}
private void authenticate(String username, String password) throws Exception {
try {
authenticationManager.authenticate(new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(username, password));
} catch (DisabledException e) {
throw new Exception("USER_DISABLED", e);
} catch (BadCredentialsException e) {
throw new Exception("INVALID_CREDENTIALS", e);
}
}
}
JwtRequest
This class is required for storing the username and password we recieve from the client.
package com.javainuse.model;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class JwtRequest implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 5926468583005150707L;
private String username;
private String password;
//need default constructor for JSON Parsing
public JwtRequest()
{
}
public JwtRequest(String username, String password) {
this.setUsername(username);
this.setPassword(password);
}
public String getUsername() {
return this.username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
public String getPassword() {
return this.password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
}
JwtResponse
This is class is required for creating a response containing the JWT to be returned to the user.
package com.javainuse.model;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class JwtResponse implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -8091879091924046844L;
private final String jwttoken;
public JwtResponse(String jwttoken) {
this.jwttoken = jwttoken;
}
public String getToken() {
return this.jwttoken;
}
}
JwtRequestFilter
The JwtRequestFilter extends the Spring Web Filter OncePerRequestFilter class. For any incoming request this Filter class gets executed. It checks if the request has a valid JWT token. If it has a valid JWT Token then it sets the Authentication in the context, to specify that the current user is authenticated.
package com.javainuse.config;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.filter.OncePerRequestFilter;
import com.javainuse.service.JwtUserDetailsService;
import io.jsonwebtoken.ExpiredJwtException;
@Component
public class JwtRequestFilter extends OncePerRequestFilter {
@Autowired
private JwtUserDetailsService jwtUserDetailsService;
@Autowired
private JwtTokenUtil jwtTokenUtil;
@Override
protected void doFilterInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws ServletException, IOException {
final String requestTokenHeader = request.getHeader("Authorization");
String username = null;
String jwtToken = null;
// JWT Token is in the form "Bearer token". Remove Bearer word and get
// only the Token
if (requestTokenHeader != null && requestTokenHeader.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
jwtToken = requestTokenHeader.substring(7);
try {
username = jwtTokenUtil.getUsernameFromToken(jwtToken);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
System.out.println("Unable to get JWT Token");
} catch (ExpiredJwtException e) {
System.out.println("JWT Token has expired");
}
} else {
logger.warn("JWT Token does not begin with Bearer String");
}
// Once we get the token validate it.
if (username != null && SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() == null) {
UserDetails userDetails = this.jwtUserDetailsService.loadUserByUsername(username);
// if token is valid configure Spring Security to manually set
// authentication
if (jwtTokenUtil.validateToken(jwtToken, userDetails)) {
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken usernamePasswordAuthenticationToken = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(
userDetails, null, userDetails.getAuthorities());
usernamePasswordAuthenticationToken
.setDetails(new WebAuthenticationDetailsSource().buildDetails(request));
// After setting the Authentication in the context, we specify
// that the current user is authenticated. So it passes the
// Spring Security Configurations successfully.
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(usernamePasswordAuthenticationToken);
}
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
}
JwtAuthenticationEntryPoint
This class will extend Spring's AuthenticationEntryPoint class and override its method commence. It rejects every unauthenticated request and send error code 401
package com.javainuse.config;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.security.core.AuthenticationException;
import org.springframework.security.web.AuthenticationEntryPoint;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
public class JwtAuthenticationEntryPoint implements AuthenticationEntryPoint, Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -7858869558953243875L;
@Override
public void commence(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
AuthenticationException authException) throws IOException {
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED, "Unauthorized");
}
}
WebSecurityConfig
This class extends the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter is a convenience class that allows customization to both WebSecurity and HttpSecurity.
package com.javainuse.config;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

}
@Bean
public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}
@Bean
@Override
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {

.sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS);
// Add a filter to validate the tokens with every request
httpSecurity.addFilterBefore(jwtRequestFilter, UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.class);
}
}
Start the Spring Boot Application
- Generate a JSON Web Token -
- Create a POST request with url
localhost:8080/authenticate
. Body should have valid username and password. In our case username is javainuse
and password is password
.
- Validate the JSON Web Token
- Try accessing the url
localhost:8080/hello
using the above generated token in the header as follows
