Implement custom UserDetailsService for spring security
In the last article, all our user name and password are hard coded in the xml file itself. But this will not useful for the real world application. Most of the time, user name and passwords are stored in the database and we need to validate against the database to give access to our secured pages.
As a first step towards that, this post will explain will explain little bit on that. This is not complete implementation, later we will see how to connect database and check the user name and password, But this will help you how to start on that.
Technologies used in this example:
1. ZK 6.5.1 CE Version.
2. Spring-security-core 3.0.5
Step 1:
Download this document and setup the development environment.
Step 2:
Let us create ZK Maven Project. Follow the below instruction.
In the Eclipse IDE, Select File –> New-> Other-> Maven Project as shown here.
Click Next.
Uncheck the option “Create a simple Project(skip archetype selection) and Click next.
Select “ZK” in the catalog and select “ZK-archetype-webapp 6.0” as shown here."![image_thumb3[1]](http://lh3.ggpht.com/-OVShxykPC_4/UUiK0OOyUOI/AAAAAAAADCE/_V8c399IgEM/s1600-h/image_thumb315.png "image_thumb3[1]")
Click Next after selecting the ZK Archetype.
Enter “zkloginexample2” for Group ID, Artifact id and Package. And important, please select “ZK-Version-since” from the bottom list and then select finish.
Now, the following folder structure will be created.
Step 3:
Next we will include the spring dependency in the POM File.
Double click the POM.XML file in the project navigator.
Click on the POM.XML tab. The following modification has been done.
1. Change the ZK Version to latest CE Version.
2. Remove the Maven ZK EE Version Repository.
3. Add the spring security dependency.
Here is the modified POM.XML file.

Step 4:
Next step we will update web.xml to take care spring filter.
Here is the updated web.xml file.

</web-app>
Step 5:
As you can see in the web.xml file, we are loading new xml file configuration named as “spring-security.xml”.
Select the Folder “WEB-INF”, right click, Select New->Other-XML File and give the file name as “spring-security.xml”
Paste the following content
<!-- Spring namespace-based configuration -->
<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"
xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd">
<!-- ====================================================== -->
<!-- For catching the @Secured annotation methods -->
<!-- Tells the Spring Security engine that we will use Spring Security's -->
<!-- pre and post invocation Java annotations (@PreFilter, @PreAuthorize, -->
<!-- @PostFilter, -->
<!-- @PostAuthorize) to secure service layer methods.. -->
<!-- Look in GFCBaseCtrl.java onEvent() method. -->
<!-- ====================================================== -->
<!-- Enable the @Secured annotation to secure service layer methods -->
<global-method-security secured-annotations="enabled" />
<http auto-config="true">
<!-- ====================================================== -->
<!-- If we have our own LoginPage. So we must -->
<!-- tell Spring the name and the place. -->
<!-- In our case we take the same page -->
<!-- for a error message by a failure. -->
<!-- Further the page after a successfully login. -->
<!-- ====================================================== -->
<form-login login-page="/login.zul"
authentication-failure-url="/login.zul?login_error=1"
default-target-url="/index.zul" />
<intercept-url pattern="/login.zul" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY" />
<intercept-url pattern="/*.zul" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED" />
<intercept-url pattern="/zk/*" access="IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED" />
</http>
<authentication-manager>
<authentication-provider user-service-ref="myUserDetailsService">
</authentication-provider>
</authentication-manager>
<beans:bean id="myUserDetailsService"
class="zkloginexample2.MyUserDetailsService"/>
</beans:beans>
login-page : The URL that should be used to render the login page.
Just for this example, we have some user names and their password are encoded.
As you can see that, we have removed all the user name and password in the xml file and used our own custom authentication pointer by referring java bean with id as “myUserDetailsService”. So let us create this java class now
In the zkloginexample2 package(which is created by default), right click-> New->Other->Class and Give the name as MyUserDetailsService.
MyUserDetailsService.java file will be created as shown here.
Here is the content
package zkloginexample2;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException;
import org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.authority.GrantedAuthorityImpl;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetails;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UsernameNotFoundException;
public class MyUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService {
/*
* You just have to make sure that the user-by-username-query returns three
* fields. 1) the userName 2) the password 3) boolean for is the user
* active. If you don't have an active field, make your query always return
* true for that third field.
*/
public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String arg0)
throws UsernameNotFoundException, DataAccessException {
String username = "rod";
String password = "koala";
boolean enabled = true;
boolean accountNonExpired = true;
boolean credentialsNonExpired = true;
boolean accountNonLocked = true;
List<GrantedAuthority> authList = new ArrayList<GrantedAuthority>(1);
authList.add(new GrantedAuthorityImpl("ROLE_SUPERVISOR"));
User user = null;
try {
user = new User(username, password, enabled, accountNonExpired,
credentialsNonExpired, accountNonLocked, authList);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return user;
}
}
Step 6:
Next step is to add the login.zul. Select the folder “webapp”. Right click, Select New->Other->Zul file. Enter the file name as login.zul
Here is the file content.
<?page id="loginPage" title="Digital medical sheet - Login page" onLoad="win.doOverlapped();"?>
<window id="win" title="LOGIN" border="normal" width="300px"
position="center">
<!-- this form-login-page form is also used as the
form-error-page to ask for a login again. -->
<html style="color:red" if="${not empty param.login_error}">
<![CDATA[ Your login attempt was not successful, try
again.<br/><br/> Reason:
${SPRING_SECURITY_LAST_EXCEPTION.message} ]]>
</html>
<groupbox>
<caption>Login</caption>
<h:form id="f" name="f" action="j_spring_security_check"
method="POST" xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<grid>
<columns sizable="false">
<column width="50%" />
<column width="50%" />
</columns>
<rows>
<row>
<label value="User:" />
<textbox id="u" name="j_username" />
</row>
<row>
<label value="Password:" />
<textbox id="p" type="password"
name="j_password" />
</row>
<row spans="2">
<div align="center">
<h:input type="submit" value="login" />
<h:input type="reset" value="Reset" />
</div>
</row>
</rows>
</grid>
</h:form>
</groupbox>
</window>
Step 7:
Now the let us change the index.zul file content which is created by default.
<zk>
<window >
Welcome to ZK Secured Page
<button label="Logout" href="/j_spring_security_logout"/>
</window>
</zk>
Step 8:
Now you can select the Project “zkloginexample2”, right click-> Run as –> Run on Server
Select the tomcat server and Click finish button

Now you can enter any valid username/passwords as follows
rod/koala
