I am trying implement a generic controller class where each method has a structure similar to this:
@RequestMapping(value="cadastra")
@PreAuthorize("hasPermission(#user, 'cadastra_#this.class.name')")
public ModelAndView cadastra() throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {
return new ModelAndView("privado/"+this.entity.getClass().getName()+"/cadastra", "command", this.entity.getClass().newInstance());
}
I am having trouble with the annotation PreAuthorize
. the name for the permissionhave this structure: _. right now, I am getting a 403 Error when I try access the view mapped by the method. I also tried other variations like:
@PreAuthorize("hasPermission(#user, 'cadastra_'+#this.class.name)")
or
@PreAuthorize("hasPermission(#user, 'cadastra_#this.getClass().getName()')")
but with the same result. Anyone knows the right way to accomplish this?
UPDATE
I try call this function inside the methods from controller secured by this tag PreAuthorize:
private void expressionParser() {
System.out.println("expressionHandler()");
ExpressionParser parser = new SpelExpressionParser();
Expression expression = parser.parseExpression("'cadastra_'+#this.class.name");
String message = (String) expression.getValue();
System.out.println("Message is " + message);
}
and when I run the application and open the view should be mapped by a method from controller, like this one:
@RequestMapping(value="cadastra")
@PreAuthorize("hasPermission(#user, 'cadastra_'+#this.class.name)")
public ModelAndView cadastra() throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {
this.expressionParser();
return new ModelAndView("privado/"+this.entityClass.getName()+"/cadastra", "command", this.entityClass.newInstance());
}
No message is displayed on the console. So, I am thinking my application somehow aren't calling the methods from my generic controller. Am I right? If so, how I fix this?
My derived controllers follow this structure:
@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="usuario")
public class UsuarioController extends controller<Usuario> {
public UsuarioController() {
super(Usuario.class);
}
}
So, I solved this issue with this approach:
1) Adding a new method to my generic controller, where I return the name of the class:
public String getName() {
String expressao = entityClass.getName();
String nome_classe = new String();
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(expressao, ".");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
nome_classe = st.nextToken();
}
return nome_classe;
}
2) Inside the annotation, I use the returned value by this method and concatenate the result with the constant string (using the notation described by the user @pgjecek in this topic):
@PreAuthorize("hasPermission(#user, 'cadastra_'+#this.this.name)")
and now it1s working perfectly.
