Angular, error 500 after sending the request in the header - okta

Question

I have a hard time passing the right angular request to the header. This is my service:
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { HttpClient, HttpEvent, HttpHandler, HttpInterceptor, HttpRequest, HttpHeaders }
from '#angular/common/http';
import { Utente } from '../model/Utente ';
import { Prodotto } from '../model/Prodotto ';
import { OktaAuthService } from '#okta/okta-angular';
import { Observable, from } from 'rxjs';
import { Carrello } from '../model/Carrello ';
import { userInfo } from 'node:os';
import { getLocaleCurrencyCode } from '#angular/common';
const headers = new HttpHeaders().set('Accept', 'application/json');
#Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class HttpClientService {
constructor(
private httpClient:HttpClient, private oktaAuth:OktaAuthService ) {}
getCarr(){
return this.httpClient.get<Carrello[]>('http://localhost:8080/prodotti/utente/vedicarrelloo', {headers} );
}
}
This is my spring method:
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
public List<Carrello> getCarrello(#AuthenticationPrincipal OidcUser utente){
Utente u= utenteRepository.findByEmail(utente.getEmail());
return carrelloRepository.findByUtente(u);
}
In console I get this error (error 500):
https://i.stack.imgur.com/BiONS.png
this error corresponds in my console to "java.lang.NullPointerException: null.
But if I access localhost: 8080, I can see the answer correctly, so I assume there is a problem in passing the request header in angular, can anyone tell me where am I wrong, please? I specify that I get this error only in the methods where the OidcUser is present, the rest works perfectly. Thank you!

You need to send an access token with your request. Like this:
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
import { OktaAuthService } from '#okta/okta-angular';
import { HttpClient } from '#angular/common/http';
import sampleConfig from '../app.config';
interface Message {
date: string;
text: string;
}
#Component({
selector: 'app-messages',
templateUrl: './messages.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./messages.component.css']
})
export class MessagesComponent implements OnInit {
failed: Boolean;
messages: Array<Message> [];
constructor(public oktaAuth: OktaAuthService, private http: HttpClient) {
this.messages = [];
}
async ngOnInit() {
const accessToken = await this.oktaAuth.getAccessToken();
this.http.get(sampleConfig.resourceServer.messagesUrl, {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer ' + accessToken,
}
}).subscribe((data: any) => {
let index = 1;
const messages = data.messages.map((message) => {
const date = new Date(message.date);
const day = date.toLocaleDateString();
const time = date.toLocaleTimeString();
return {
date: `${day} ${time}`,
text: message.text,
index: index++
};
});
[].push.apply(this.messages, messages);
}, (err) => {
console.error(err);
this.failed = true;
});
}
}
On the Spring side, if you want it to accept a JWT, you'll need to change to use Jwt instead of OidcUser. Example here.
#GetMapping("/")
public String index(#AuthenticationPrincipal Jwt jwt) {
return String.format("Hello, %s!", jwt.getSubject());
}
