Spring MVC HandlerInterceptor ignored in Java config - spring

I'm trying to convert a Spring project from XML to Java config and have run into the following issue with HandlerInterceptors:
XML Config (works):
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<mvc:interceptors>
<bean class="com.mycompany.MyHandlerInterceptor" />
</mvc:interceptors>
Java Config (interceptor is never called)
#Configuration
public class MvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport {
#Override
protected void addInterceptors(InterceptorRegistry registry) {
registry.addInterceptor(new MyHandlerInterceptor());
}
// ...
}
According to the documentation, these two configurations should be equivalent, however in the Java config example the neither the pre or post handle methods are ever called?
What am I missing?
Thanks.

This was my own fault. I had overridden requestMappingHandlerMapping() in my MVC Java config and did not set the interceptors property on the custom HandlerMapping class.
#Bean
#Override
public RequestMappingHandlerMapping requestMappingHandlerMapping() {
CustomRequestHandlerMapping handlerMapping = new CustomRequestHandlerMapping();
handlerMapping.setOrder(0);
handlerMapping.setInterceptors(getInterceptors()); // <-- This was missing
return handlerMapping;
}

How to customize Jackson in Spring MVC (not Spring Boot) application

Spring MVC 4.3.29 and Java 8 (current platform constraints), and mostly XML configuration, except for some Controller classes that are annotation-scanned.
In short, I want to get the ObjectMapper instance being used automatically by Spring JSON deserialization, and I want to set its FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES back to true.
I see several related questions, but all the examples seem to be Spring Boot and/or Java configuration. And none of the suggested #Autowired beans (Mapper, Builder, etc.) have any values at all in my WebSphere environment.
Hopefully I'm just missing some simple glue somewhere.
Edit: Bah, I thought I had it with this:
#Configuration
public class CustomWebConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void extendMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
for (HttpMessageConverter<?> converter : converters) {
if (converter instanceof MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter) {
((MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter) converter).getObjectMapper().
enable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES);
break;
}
}
}
}
And with my debugger I can see that it is being hit and changing the expected flag. But when used, the behavior is not in effect. I no longer have any XML overrides in place, but I do still have the "master" <mvc:annotation-driven/> there. I wonder if those are confusing each other...
Ok, yes, this works as long as it's combined with #EnableWebMvc rather than <mvc:annotation-driven/>:
#EnableWebMvc
#Configuration
public class CustomWebConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void extendMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
for (HttpMessageConverter<?> converter : converters) {
if (converter instanceof MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter) {
((MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter) converter).getObjectMapper().
enable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES);
break;
}
}
}
}
This kind-of "works", but by completely replacing Spring's ObjectMapper, Which then loses any other customizations it has, which I really don't want to do.
From this answer:
<bean id="myObjectMapper" class="com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper"/>
<mvc:annotation-driven>
<mvc:message-converters>
<bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
<property name="objectMapper" ref="myObjectMapper"/>
</bean>
</mvc:message-converters>
</mvc:annotation-driven>
And then I could #Autowired inject those objects and mess with them, but in this case I wouldn't need to because just a new default Jackson ObjectMapper actually restores the behavior I'm wanting.

Spring configure method not called

I tried to configure spring to allow encoded slashes in URL, but I cannot get the configuration to be applied
I've tried adding #EnableWebSecurity but it didn't seem to change anything. When I put breakpoints, the #Bean method is called but not configure().
#Configuration
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Bean
public HttpFirewall allowUrlEncodedSlashHttpFirewall() {
DefaultHttpFirewall firewall = new DefaultHttpFirewall();
firewall.setAllowUrlEncodedSlash(true);
return firewall;
}
#Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
web.httpFirewall(allowUrlEncodedSlashHttpFirewall());
}
}
I managed to make it work using xml configuration. I added the following in my applicationContext.xml:
<bean id="allowUrlEncodedSlashHttpFirewall"
class="org.springframework.security.web.firewall.DefaultHttpFirewall">
<property name="allowUrlEncodedSlash" value="true"/>
</bean>
<security:http-firewall ref="allowUrlEncodedSlashHttpFirewall"/>

Using spring to load properties as System properties

I'm using Spring 4.1.6.
I have something like the following:
foo.properties:
valueX=a
valueY=b
Spring bean:
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:foo.properties" ignore-unresolvable="false" ignore-resource-not-found="false" />
<bean id="foo" class="com.foo.bar.MyClass" >
<property name="someValue" value="${valueX}" />
</bean>
I have a non-Spring class which also needs to use a value from foo.properties.
Non Spring Class:
public void doSomething() {
String valueY = System.getProperty("valueY");
}
When Spring loads foo.properties, is there a way to populate all the properties into System properties so that I can get "valueY" using System.getProperty("valueY").
I don't want to load foo.properties again in my non-Spring class.
The context:property-placeholder will create a PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer config bean for you. You cannot access the properties from this bean programatically as stated here.
What you can do is to load the properties into a separate spring bean as given below.
#Bean(name = "mapper")
public PropertiesFactoryBean mapper() {
PropertiesFactoryBean bean = new PropertiesFactoryBean();
bean.setLocation(new ClassPathResource("application.properties"));
return bean;
}
and then set the system property when the context load is finished using a listener as given below. Got the code from this answer
#Component
public class YourJobClass implements ApplicationListener<ContextRefreshedEvent> {
#Resource(name = "mapper")
private Properties myTranslator;
public void onApplicationEvent(ContextRefreshedEvent contextRefreshedEvent) {
System.setProperties(myTranslator);
}
}

Ldap Query - Configuration using Spring Boot

I have a Spring boot application that needs to perform LDAP queries. I'm trying to take the following recommendation from the Spring boot documentation:
"Many Spring configuration examples have been published on the
Internet that use XML configuration. Always try to use the equivalent
Java-base configuration if possible."
In a Spring XML configuration file, I would have used:
<ldap:context-source
url="ldap://localhost:389"
base="cn=Users,dc=test,dc=local"
username="cn=testUser"
password="testPass" />
<ldap:ldap-template id="ldapTemplate" />
<bean id="personRepo" class="com.llpf.ldap.PersonRepoImpl">
<property name="ldapTemplate" ref="ldapTemplate" />
</bean>
How would I configure this using a Java-based configuration? I need to be able to change URL, base, username, and password attributes of ldap:context-source without a code rebuild.
The <ldap:context-source> XML tag produces an LdapContextSource bean and the <ldap:ldap-template> XML tag produces an LdapTemplate bean so that's what you need to do in your Java configuration:
#Configuration
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#EnableConfigurationProperties
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
#Bean
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix="ldap.contextSource")
public LdapContextSource contextSource() {
LdapContextSource contextSource = new LdapContextSource();
return contextSource;
}
#Bean
public LdapTemplate ldapTemplate(ContextSource contextSource) {
return new LdapTemplate(contextSource);
}
#Bean
public PersonRepoImpl personRepo(LdapTemplate ldapTemplate) {
PersonRepoImpl personRepo = new PersonRepoImpl();
personRepo.setLdapTemplate(ldapTemplate);
return personRepo;
}
}
To allow you to change the configuration without a rebuild of your code, I've used Spring Boot's #ConfigurationProperties. This will look in your application's environment for properties prefixed with ldap.contextSource and then apply them to the LdapContextSource bean by calling the matching setter methods. To apply the configuration in the question, you can use an application.properties file with four properties:
ldap.contextSource.url=ldap://localhost:389
ldap.contextSource.base=cn=Users,dc=test,dc=local
ldap.contextSource.userDn=cn=testUser
ldap.contextSource.password=testPass

Spring 4 Annotation based equivalent of static resource mapping

I just converted an XML configured Spring MVC project to being annotation based but I cannot seem to figure out what annotation to use (and where to place it) for static resource mappings. The mappings in my project's older XML based configuration were:
<mvc:resources mapping = "/css/**" location = "/css/"/>
<mvc:resources mapping = "/images/**" location = "/images/"/>
<mvc:resources mapping = "/*.html" location = "/"/>
Any help appreciated.
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
public class WebAppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/css/**").addResourceLocations("/css/");
}
}
