I am at a loss moving from Spring XML to Java-config

Question

I have a spring-secuiry.xml and a database.xml that I need to move into the Java-config but I don't know how..

Here is my sercuirty.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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-3.1.xsd
                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
                        http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.1.xsd">


    <global-method-security pre-post-annotations="enabled" />

    <http use-expressions="true">
        <intercept-url access="hasRole('ROLE_VERIFIED_MEMBER')" pattern="/mrequest**" />
        <intercept-url pattern='/*' access='permitAll' />
        <form-login default-target-url="/visit" />

        <logout logout-success-url="/" />
    </http>

    <authentication-manager>
        <authentication-provider>
            <user-service>
                <user name="[email protected]" password="testing" authorities="ROLE_VERIFIED_MEMBER" />
            </user-service>

        </authentication-provider>
    </authentication-manager>
</beans:beans>

and here is my database.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

Can someone please show me how to change the following Java-config to have them:

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages= {"com.johnathanmsmith.mvc.web"})
public class WebMVCConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

    private static final String MESSAGE_SOURCE = "/WEB-INF/classes/messages";

    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(WebMVCConfig.class);

    @Bean
    public  ViewResolver resolver() {
        UrlBasedViewResolver url = new UrlBasedViewResolver();
        url.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/view/");
        url.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
        url.setSuffix(".jsp");
        return url;
    }


    @Bean(name = "messageSource")
    public MessageSource configureMessageSource() {
        logger.debug("setting up message source");
        ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
        messageSource.setBasename(MESSAGE_SOURCE);
        messageSource.setCacheSeconds(5);
        messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
        return messageSource;
    }

    @Bean
    public LocaleResolver localeResolver() {
        SessionLocaleResolver lr = new SessionLocaleResolver();
        lr.setDefaultLocale(Locale.ENGLISH);
        return lr;
    }

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        logger.debug("setting up resource handlers");
        registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/").addResourceLocations("/resources/**");
    }

    @Override
    public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) {
        logger.debug("configureDefaultServletHandling");
        configurer.enable();
    }

    @Override
    public void addInterceptors(final InterceptorRegistry registry) {
        registry.addInterceptor(new LocaleChangeInterceptor());
    }

    @Bean
    public SimpleMappingExceptionResolver simpleMappingExceptionResolver() {
        SimpleMappingExceptionResolver b = new SimpleMappingExceptionResolver();

        Properties mappings = new Properties();
        mappings.put("org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound", "p404");
        mappings.put("org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException", "dataAccessFailure");
        mappings.put("org.springframework.transaction.TransactionException", "dataAccessFailure");
        b.setExceptionMappings(mappings);
        return b;
    }

    @Bean
    public RequestTrackerConfig requestTrackerConfig()
    {
        RequestTrackerConfig tr = new RequestTrackerConfig();
        tr.setPassword("Waiting#$");
        tr.setUrl("https://uftwfrt01-dev.uftmasterad.org/REST/1.0");
        tr.setUser("root");

        return tr;
    }


}

Answer 1

As has been pointed out in comments, Spring security isn't supported in the java config yet.

I converted a basic Spring mvc webapp to full (or as much as possible at the time) code configuration a little while ago.

You can check out the whole project on github, that should all work out of the box, and also uses inializr/bootstrap stuff for web/html5 good practice too.

My code config files are all here

As you can see for my security class, its kindof a cheat!

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource;

/**
 * Spring doesn't yet support pure java configuration of spring security
 * so this will just have to import the old fashioned xml file.
 * 
 * @author rob
 *
 */
@Configuration
@ImportResource("classpath:META-INF/spring/security.xml")
public class SecurityConfiguration {}

UPDATE

Since Spring-security 3.2 you have been able to convert Spring-security to Java based code config. I have written it up on my blog here: http://automateddeveloper.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/spring-4-xml-to-annotation-configuration.html

(includes source code & full spring mvc project using Spring 4)
