Unable to configure deadbolt-2 in Play 2.2.1 with Spring 4.0.1 DI already implemented

I am using Play 2.2.1 with Spring 4.0.1 for DI. I am using deadbolt-java version 2.2-RC1 for authorization. Whenever I access any request handler annotated with Deadbolt annotation such as this: @SubjectPresent(handler = BaseDeadboltHandler.class) I am seeing an exception generated by Deadbolt:

play.api.Application$$anon$1: Execution
exception[[NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type
[be.objectify.deadbolt.java.actions.SubjectPresentAction] is defined]]

This is probably because Spring is trying to manage the deadbolt classes using it's bean container. Can this be avoided? Is there a way I can tell Spring to not look for beans for deadbolt annotations?

Solution

  • I had a similar problem with Security.AuthenticatedAction that I found the answer for here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/play-framework/gV596rEE_MU . The easiest thing you can do is define the dynamicAction as a bean. 

    @Bean
public be.objectify.deadbolt.java.actions.DynamicAction dynamicAction(){
    return new be.objectify.deadbolt.java.actions.DynamicAction();
}

    of course this could be a problem if you have more than one @DynamicAction. Hope it helps.
