Spring Social Facebook Profile URL incorrect

I configured spring social for facebook and also the spring social authentication in my application with a custom UsersConnectionRepository and ConnectionRepository.

Configuration file

@Configuration
public class SocialConfig extends SocialConfigurerAdapter{
    ...    
    @Override
    public UsersConnectionRepository getUsersConnectionRepository(ConnectionFactoryLocator factoryLocator) {
        SecUsersConnectionRepository repository = new SecUsersConnectionRepository(factoryLocator, userRepository, userConnectionRepository);
        return repository;
    }
    ...
}

Connection Repository implementation

public class SecConnectionRepository implements ConnectionRepository {
    ...
 @Override
    public void addConnection(Connection<?> connection) {
        UserConnection userConnection = userRepository.findConnectionBy(user, connection.getKey().getProviderId(), connection.getKey().getProviderUserId());
        if (userConnection == null) {
            ...
            userConnection.setProviderId(data.getProviderId());
            userConnection.setProviderUserId(data.getProviderUserId());
            userConnection.setDisplayName(data.getDisplayName());
            userConnection.setProfileUrl(data.getProfileUrl());
            userConnection.setImageUrl(data.getImageUrl());
            ...
        } else {
            throw new DuplicateConnectionException(connection.getKey());
        }
    }

When I add my facebook login, the Connect<A> interface object fetch the profileUrl, But the URL is in this format

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&_rdr

If I open up this link the browser is says

enter image description here

Gradle file

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/libs-release" }
        ... }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.3.RELEASE")
    }
}
apply plugin: 'java'
...
jar {...}
repositories {
    ...
    maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/libs-release" } 
}
dependencies {
    ...
    compile("org.springframework.social:spring-social-facebook")
    compile("org.springframework.social:spring-social-security")
    ... }
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {...}

What am I doing wrong here?

SOLUTION

updating the FB libary in spring solved the issue.

compile("org.springframework.social:spring-social-facebook:2.0.1.RELEASE")
Solution

  • Check if you're using the most recent version of Spring Social. The profileUrl should nowadays have the scheme

    https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/{app_scoped_user_id}/

    where {app_scoped_user_id} is the actual app-scoped user id.
