Spring security jdbc config to auth user with multiple roles - spring

Question

I am currently working on a java based invoice app.
What I need is , to auth a user with multiple Roles, e.g Peter should have role ROLE_SETTING,ROLE_REPORT,ROLE_QUOTE, while Anne only has one role ROLE_SETTING etc...
Here is my spring-security-config.xml
<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-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.2.xsd">
<http auto-config="true">
<access-denied-handler error-page="/403page" />
<intercept-url pattern="/makebill*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_MAKEBILL" />
<intercept-url pattern="/report*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_REPORT" />
<intercept-url pattern="/stock*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_STOCK" />
<intercept-url pattern="/customer*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_CUSTOMER" />
<!-- <intercept-url pattern="/setting*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_SETTING" /> -->
<intercept-url pattern="/mainmenu*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_MAKEBILL,ROLE_SETTING,ROLE_CUSTOMER,ROLE_REPORT,ROLE_STOCK" />
<form-login
login-page='/login' username-parameter="username"
password-parameter="password" default-target-url="/mainmenu"
authentication-failure-url="/login?authfailed" />
<logout logout-success-url="/login?logout" />
</http>
<authentication-manager>
<authentication-provider>
<jdbc-user-service
data-source-ref="dataSource"
users-by-username-query="select username,password, enabled from person where username=?"
authorities-by-username-query="select username, role from person, role where username =? " />
</authentication-provider>
</authentication-manager>
</beans:beans>
the authentication-manager currently working fine with just one role, what i mean is...when the sql query authorities-by-username-query="select username, role from person, role where username =? " runs, if the returned value is just one role, e.g ROLE_REPORT, the application works fine, but if have a record in db like, ROLE_REPORT,ROLE_SETTING,ROLE_CUSTOMER , when the query retrieves this value, the application will return me 404 error, it seems I won't be able to grant a user with multiple roles.
Can anyone please point me out what I have done wrong.
Thanks.

I found a solution myself, implemented my own UserDetails, here are the code
#Service("assembler")
public class Assembler {
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
User buildUserFromUserEntity(Person person) {
String username = person.getUsername();
String password = person.getPassword();
boolean enabled = true;
List<SimpleGrantedAuthority> authorities = new ArrayList<SimpleGrantedAuthority>();
String[] authStrings = person.getRole().split(",");
for(String authString : authStrings) {
System.out.println("all auth roles: " + authString);
authorities.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority(authString));
}
User user = new User(username, password, enabled,
true, true, true, authorities);
return user;
}
}
#Service("userDetailsService")
public class UserDetailsServiceImpl implements UserDetailsService {
#Autowired private PersonService personService;
#Autowired private Assembler assembler;
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username)
throws UsernameNotFoundException, DataAccessException {
UserDetails userDetails = null;
Person person = null;
List<Person> listPeople = personService.listPeople();
for (Person p: listPeople) {
if (p.getUsername().equals(username)) {
person = p;
}
}
if (person == null)
throw new UsernameNotFoundException("user not found");
return assembler.buildUserFromUserEntity(person);
}
}
and here is the spring-security-config.xml
<http auto-config="true">
<access-denied-handler error-page="/403page" />
<intercept-url pattern="/makebill*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_MAKEBILL" />
<intercept-url pattern="/report*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_REPORT" />
<intercept-url pattern="/stock*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_STOCK" />
<intercept-url pattern="/customer*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_CUSTOMER" />
<intercept-url pattern="/setting*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_SETTING" />
<intercept-url pattern="/mainmenu*" access="ROLE_ADMIN,ROLE_MAKEBILL,ROLE_SETTING,ROLE_CUSTOMER,ROLE_REPORT,ROLE_STOCK" />
<form-login
login-page='/login' username-parameter="username"
password-parameter="password" default-target-url="/mainmenu"
authentication-failure-url="/login?authfailed" />
<logout logout-success-url="/login?logout" />
</http>
<beans:bean id="daoAuthenticationProvider"
class="org.springframework.security.authentication.dao.DaoAuthenticationProvider">
<beans:property name="userDetailsService" ref="userDetailsService"/>
</beans:bean>
<beans:bean id="authenticationManager"
class="org.springframework.security.authentication.ProviderManager">
<beans:property name="providers">
<beans:list>
<beans:ref local="daoAuthenticationProvider" />
</beans:list>
</beans:property>
</beans:bean>
<authentication-manager>
<authentication-provider user-service-ref="userDetailsService">
</authentication-provider>
</authentication-manager>
I am now able to assign multiple roles to a single user perfectly.
Thanks for reading :)
