Spring Boot 3 + Spring Security 6 + Thymeleaf - Registration and Login Example

In this section we will learn how to create user registration and login using Spring boot 3, Spring security 6, Thymeleaf, JPA, and PostgreSQL. The GitHub repository link is provided at the end of this tutorial. You can download the source code.


What’s New in Spring Security 6?

  • WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter Removed: The WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter class was deprecated and then removed in Spring Security 6. Instead, you should now take a more component-based approach and create a bean of type SecurityFilterChain. Here's an example:
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration {

   @Bean
   public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
      http
              .authorizeHttpRequests((requests) -> requests
                      .requestMatchers("/registration**").permitAll()
                      .anyRequest().authenticated()
              )
              .formLogin((form) -> form
                      .loginPage("/login")
                      .permitAll()
              )
              .logout((logout) -> logout
                      .logoutUrl("/logout")
                      .logoutSuccessUrl("/")
                      .invalidateHttpSession(true));

      return http.build();
   }
}


  • Method authorizeRequests() has been deprecated and shouldn’t be used anymore: The authorizeRequests() method of the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter class has been deprecated and shouldn’t be used anymore. This method was previously used to configure the authorization rules for securing web applications. Instead, you should use the HttpSecurity class and its authorizeHttpRequests() method instead. Here's an example:
   @Bean
   public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
      http
              .authorizeHttpRequests((requests) -> requests
                      .requestMatchers("/registration**").permitAll()
                      .anyRequest().authenticated()
              )
              .formLogin((form) -> form
                      .loginPage("/login")
                      .permitAll()
              )
              .logout((logout) -> logout
                      .logoutUrl("/logout")
                      .logoutSuccessUrl("/")
                      .invalidateHttpSession(true));

      return http.build();
   }
}


  • Requestmatchers Replacing Antmatcher, Mvcmatcher, and Regexmatcher:In Spring Security 6.0, antMatchers() as well as other configuration methods for securing requests (namely mvcMatchers() and regexMatchers()) have been removed from the API. An overloaded method requestMatchers() was introduced as a uniform mean for securing requests. The requestMatchers() facilitate all the ways of restricting requests that were supported by the removed methods. Here's an example that permits access to the /registration endpoint without authentication.
   @Bean
   public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
      http
              .authorizeHttpRequests((requests) -> requests
                      .requestMatchers("/registration").permitAll()
                      .anyRequest().authenticated()
              )
              .formLogin((form) -> form
                      .loginPage("/login")
                      .permitAll()
              )
              .logout((logout) -> logout
                      .logoutUrl("/logout")
                      .logoutSuccessUrl("/")
                      .invalidateHttpSession(true));

      return http.build();
   }
}


  • Regarding deprecated annotation @EnableGlobalMethodSecurity it was replaced with @EnableMethodSecurity: Note that you can avoid using prePostEnabled = true, because by default is true.
boolean prePostEnabled() default true;
boolean jsr250Enabled() default false;
boolean proxyTargetClass() default false;

Configure PostgreSQL Database
Let’s configure Spring Boot to use PostgreSQL as our data source. We are simply adding PostgreSQL database URL, username, and password in the src/main/resources/application.yaml file -
spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb
    username: postgres
    password: root
  jpa:
    hibernate:
      ddl-auto: update # Hibernate ddl auto (create, create-drop, validate, update),production set to none or comment it
    show-sql: true
    database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
    open-in-view: false
    generate-ddl: true

Create JPA Entity - User.java
package com.knf.dev.demo.entity;

import jakarta.persistence.*;
import java.util.Collection;

@Entity
@Table(name = "my_user", uniqueConstraints =
       @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "email"))
public class User {

   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
   private Long id;

   @Column(name = "first_name")
   private String firstName;

   @Column(name = "last_name")
   private String lastName;

   private String email;

   private String password;

   @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, 
                   cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
   @JoinTable(name = "users_roles", 
       joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "user_id", 
         referencedColumnName = "id"), 
           inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn
              (name = "role_id", 
                 referencedColumnName = "id"))
   private Collection<Role> roles;

   public User() {

   }

   public User(String firstName, String lastName, 
         String email, String password, 
                   Collection<Role> roles) {
      
      this.firstName = firstName;
      this.lastName = lastName;
      this.email = email;
      this.password = password;
      this.roles = roles;
   }

   public Long getId() {
      return id;
   }

   public void setId(Long id) {
      this.id = id;
   }

   public String getFirstName() {
      return firstName;
   }

   public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
      this.firstName = firstName;
   }

   public String getLastName() {
      return lastName;
   }

   public void setLastName(String lastName) {
      this.lastName = lastName;
   }

   public String getEmail() {
      return email;
   }

   public void setEmail(String email) {
      this.email = email;
   }

   public String getPassword() {
      return password;
   }

   public void setPassword(String password) {
      this.password = password;
   }

   public Collection<Role> getRoles() {
      return roles;
   }

   public void setRoles(Collection<Role> roles) {
      this.roles = roles;
   }
}
The @Entity annotation specifies that the class is an entity and is mapped to a database table. The @Table annotation specifies the name of the database table to be used for mapping. The @Id annotation specifies the primary key of an entity and the @GeneratedValue provides for the specification of generation strategies for the values of primary keys. The @Column annotation is used to specify the mapped column for a persistent property or field. If no Column annotation is specified, the default value will be applied. We use @ManyToMany annotation to create a many-to-many relationship between two entities.

Create JPA Entity - Role.java
package com.knf.dev.demo.entity;

import jakarta.persistence.*;

@Entity
@Table(name = "role")
public class Role {

   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
   private Long id;
   private String name;

   public Role() {

   }

   public Role(String name) {
      super();
      this.name = name;
   }

   public Long getId() {
      return id;
   }

   public void setId(Long id) {
      this.id = id;
   }

   public String getName() {
      return name;
   }

   public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
   }
}
The @Entity annotation specifies that the class is an entity and is mapped to a database table. The @Table annotation specifies the name of the database table to be used for mapping. The @Id annotation specifies the primary key of an entity and the @GeneratedValue provides for the specification of generation strategies for the values of primary keys.

Create User Repository
package com.knf.dev.demo.repository;

import com.knf.dev.demo.entity.User;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;

public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {
   
   User findByEmail(String email);
}
JpaRepository is a JPA-specific extension of Repository. It contains an API for basic CRUD operations and also API for pagination and sorting.

Create User Service
package com.knf.dev.demo.service;

import com.knf.dev.demo.dto.UserRegistrationDto;
import com.knf.dev.demo.entity.User;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;

import java.util.List;

public interface UserService extends UserDetailsService {
   
   User save(UserRegistrationDto registrationDto);
   List<User> getAll();
}
The UserDetailsService interface is used to retrieve user-related data. It has one method named loadUserByUsername().

Create User Service Implementation
package com.knf.dev.demo.service.impl;


import com.knf.dev.demo.dto.UserRegistrationDto;
import com.knf.dev.demo.entity.Role;

import com.knf.dev.demo.repository.UserRepository;
import com.knf.dev.demo.service.UserService;
import org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.authority.SimpleGrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

@Service
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

   private UserRepository userRepository;
   private BCryptPasswordEncoder passwordEncoder;

   public UserServiceImpl(UserRepository userRepository, BCryptPasswordEncoder passwordEncoder) {
      super();
      this.userRepository = userRepository;
      this.passwordEncoder = passwordEncoder;
   }

   @Override
   public User save(UserRegistrationDto registrationDto) {
      
      var user = new User(registrationDto.getFirstName(),
                 registrationDto.getLastName(), 
                  registrationDto.getEmail(),
                   passwordEncoder.encode(registrationDto
                          .getPassword()), 
                   Arrays.asList(new Role("ROLE_ADMIN")));

      return userRepository.save(user);
   }

   @Override
   public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username)
         throws UsernameNotFoundException {

      var user = userRepository.findByEmail(username);
      if (user == null) {
         throw new UsernameNotFoundException
               ("Invalid username or password.");
      }
      return new org.springframework.security
            .core.userdetails.User(user.getFirstName(),
               user.getPassword(),
           mapRolesToAuthorities(user.getRoles()));
   }

   private Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority>
          mapRolesToAuthorities(Collection<Role> roles) {
      
      return roles.stream()
            .map(role -> new SimpleGrantedAuthority
                  (role.getName()))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
   }

   @Override
   public List<User> getAll() {
      
      return userRepository.findAll();
   }
}

Create User Registration DTO
package com.knf.dev.demo.dto;

public class UserRegistrationDto {

   private String firstName;
   private String lastName;
   private String email;
   private String password;

   public UserRegistrationDto() {

   }

   public String getFirstName() {
      return firstName;
   }

   public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
      this.firstName = firstName;
   }

   public String getLastName() {
      return lastName;
   }

   public void setLastName(String lastName) {
      this.lastName = lastName;
   }

   public String getEmail() {
      return email;
   }

   public void setEmail(String email) {
      this.email = email;
   }

   public String getPassword() {
      return password;
   }

   public void setPassword(String password) {
      this.password = password;
   }
}

Create Security Configuration
package com.knf.dev.demo.config;

import com.knf.dev.demo.service.UserService;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.dao.DaoAuthenticationProvider;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.crypto.bcrypt.BCryptPasswordEncoder;
import org.springframework.security.web.SecurityFilterChain;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfiguration {

   @Bean
   public BCryptPasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {

      return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
   }

   @Bean
   public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
      http
              .authorizeHttpRequests((requests) -> requests
                      .requestMatchers("/registration").permitAll()
                      .anyRequest().authenticated()
              )
              .formLogin((form) -> form
                      .loginPage("/login")
                      .permitAll()
              )
              .logout((logout) -> logout
                      .logoutUrl("/logout")
                      .logoutSuccessUrl("/")
                      .invalidateHttpSession(true));

      return http.build();
   }
}

Create Home Controller
package com.knf.dev.demo.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;

@Controller
public class HomeController {

   @GetMapping("/login")
   public String login() {
      return "login";
   }

   @GetMapping("/")
   public String home() {
      return "index";
   }
}

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/registration")
public class RegistrationController {

   private UserService userService;

   public RegistrationController(UserService userService) {
      super();
      this.userService = userService;
   }

   @ModelAttribute("user")
   public UserRegistrationDto userRegistrationDto() {
      return new UserRegistrationDto();
   }

   @GetMapping

Learn Java 8 streams with an example - print odd/even numbers from Array and List

Example 1: Java 8 program to print odd numbers from a List   import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; /*Java 8 Program to find Odd Numbers from a List*/ public class DriverClass { public static void main( String [] args) { List < Integer > numbers = Arrays. asList( 1 , 4 , 8 , 40 , 11 , 22 , 33 , 99 ); List < Integer > oddNumbers = numbers.stream(). filter(o -> o % 2 != 0 ). collect(Collectors.toList()); System.out.println(oddNumbers); } } 1. Initialize List using Arrays.asList() method. Java's built-in Arrays.asList() method converts an array into a list. This method takes an array as an argument and returns a List object. 2.  Java List interface provides stream() method which returns a sequential Stream with list of Integer as its source. 3. The Java stream filter(...

Java Stream API - How to convert List of objects to another List of objects using Java streams?

Image
In this section, we will show you how to convert a List of objects to another List of objects in Java using the Java streams map(). The ‘map’ method maps each element to its corresponding result. Java Stream API   The Java Stream API provides a functional programming approach over the object oriented capabilities of Java. It is used for processing collections of objects. The Stream in Java can be defined as a sequence of elements from a source List, Set or Array. Most of the stream operations return a Stream. This avails engender a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams withal support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the sum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream.   Stream map() Method   The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation. It converts Stream<obj1> to Str...

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r...

Java - Blowfish Encryption and decryption Example

Image
Blowfish is an encryption method developed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as an alternative to the DES encryption method. It is significantly faster than DES and provides good encryption speed, although no effective cryptanalysis technique has been found to date. It is one of the first secure block ciphers that is not protected by any patents and is therefore freely available for anyone to use. This is a symmetric block cipher algorithm. Block size: 64 bits Key size: variable size from 32 to 448 bits number of subsections: 18 [P-array] number of rounds: 16 number of substitution blocks: 4 [each with 512 records of 32 bits each] develop  Example 1: Encryption and decryption using Blowfish import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.security.InvalidKeyException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.util.Base64; import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSiz...
