Spring MVC + Spring Security + LDAP - spring

Question

I have this WebSecurityConfig:
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http.csrf().disable()
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/about", "/register").permitAll()
.antMatchers("/p1", "/p2", "/landing").fullyAuthenticated()
.anyRequest().authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin()
.loginPage("/login")
.permitAll()
.and()
.logout()
.permitAll();
}
#Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth
.ldapAuthentication()
.userDnPatterns("uid={0},ou=people")
.groupSearchBase("ou=groups")
.contextSource()
.ldif("classpath:test-server.ldif")
.and()
.passwordCompare()
.passwordEncoder(new LdapShaPasswordEncoder())
.passwordAttribute("userpassword")
;
}
#Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
web
.ignoring()
.antMatchers("/resources/**", "/css/**", "/js/**", "/img/**");
}
My ldif file is properly placed and I have a LoginController returning a html page. However, when building with maven I get:
org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'webSecurityConfig': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'setContentNegotationStrategy' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mvcContentNegotiationManager' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/web/servlet/config/annotation/DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManager]: Factory method 'mvcContentNegotiationManager' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean.build()Lorg/springframework/web/accept/ContentNegotiationManager;

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

From the error, it looks like there is some problem with the versions of spring jar files that you are using
If you look at the documentation of ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean class here, the build() method was introduced in the version 5.0
public ContentNegotiationManager build()
Actually build the ContentNegotiationManager.
Since:
5.0
The class ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean is present in the org.springframework:spring-web jar file. As per your mvn dependency tree, the version is org.springframework:spring-web:jar:4.3.9.RELEASE
This 4.3.9 version doesn't contain build() method as per the documentation 4.3.9 release . So, you are getting this error.
If you can change org.springframework:spring-web:jar:4.3.9.RELEASE to org.springframework:spring-web:jar:5.0.0.RELEASE, it should solve your problem.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem:
org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'securityConfig': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'setContentNegotationStrategy' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mvcContentNegotiationManager' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/web/servlet/config/annotation/DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManager]: Factory method 'mvcContentNegotiationManager' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean.build()Lorg/springframework/web/accept/ContentNegotiationManager;
My dependencies in build.gradle:
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '1.5.9.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/libs-release" }
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
}
}
.....
dependencies {
compile('org.springframework:spring-webmvc:2.5.2.RELEASE')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jersey')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security')
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
testCompile('org.springframework.security:spring-security-test')
}
I open File/Project structure/Libraries (i use intellij idea) and checked versions of dependences:
I am not sure but i think then i not clearly specified versions of dependencies Gradle used previous version for this dependencies on default.
Then i specified manually necessary version in build.gradle:
dependencies {
compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:5.0.2.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-web:5.0.2.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-expression:5.0.2.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-aop:5.0.2.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-beans:5.0.2.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-context:5.0.2.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-core:5.0.2.RELEASE'
compile 'org.springframework:spring-test:5.0.2.RELEASE'
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jersey')
compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.9.3'
compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.9.3'
compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.9.3'
compile('org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:5.0.0.RELEASE')
compile('org.springframework.security:spring-security-config:5.0.0.RELEASE')
compile('org.springframework.security:spring-security-core:5.0.0.RELEASE')
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}
It is helped me.
