Make Blacklist JWT tokens for spring boot

Question

Hello everyone I am for weeks on this problem make a blacklist of chips JWT with spring boot here is what I did when the user tries to disconnect his store his key token in the given database of mongoDB and it works

@PutMapping(value = "/destroy", consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public JwtBlacklist logout(@RequestBody Map<String,String> json, HttpSession httpSession) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {

    String token = json.get("token");

    JwtBlacklist jwtBlacklist = new JwtBlacklist();
    jwtBlacklist.setToken(token);
    jwtBlacklistRepository.save(jwtBlacklist);

    return jwtBlacklistRepository.save(jwtBlacklist);
}   

It stores the key in the given database perfectly without any worries here are the pictures https://ibb.co/dcX0Vnh "tokenStore"

Now the biggest problem this when I try to blacklist the tokens that the user has to use during its connection and when it disconnects this token is no longer valid here the code I JWTFilter.java

public class JWTFilter extends GenericFilterBean {
    @Value("${app.jwtSecret}")
    public String jwtsecret;
    @Autowired
    public JwtBlacklistRepository jwtBlacklistRepository;

    @Override
    public void doFilter(final ServletRequest req,
                         final ServletResponse res,
                         final FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {

        final HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
        final HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) res;
        final String authHeader = request.getHeader("authorization");

        if ("OPTIONS".equals(request.getMethod())) {
            response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);

            chain.doFilter(req, res);
        } else {

            if (authHeader == null || !authHeader.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
                throw new ServletException("Missing or invalid Authorization header");
            }

            final String token = authHeader.substring(7);
            JwtBlacklist blacklist = this.jwtBlacklistRepository.findByTokenEquals(token);

                    if(blacklist == null) {
                        final Claims claims = Jwts.parser().setSigningKey("topsecretjwtpass".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)).parseClaimsJws(token).getBody();
                        request.setAttribute("claims", claims);
                    } else {
                        throw new ServletException("Invalid token." + "");

                    }

            chain.doFilter(req, res);
        }

    }
} 

Now when i try to make a query with the blacklist tokens or without the black list tokens i have this error

Here is the model

public class JwtBlacklist {
    @Id
    private String _id;
    @Indexed(direction = IndexDirection.ASCENDING)
    private String token;

    public String get_id() {
        return _id;
    }

    public void set_id(String _id) {
        this._id = _id;
    }

    public String getToken() {
        return token;
    }

    public void setToken(String token) {
        this.token = token;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "JwtBlacklist{" +
                "_id='" + _id + '\'' +
                ", token='" + token + '\'' +
                '}';
    }
}

---

This is the repository of the JwtBlacklist

import com.monarque.bank.monarque.dao.models.JwtBlacklist;
import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository;


public interface JwtBlacklistRepository extends MongoRepository<JwtBlacklist,String> {


JwtBlacklist findByTokenEquals(String token);

}

Answer 1

To summarise, the problem happens because your JWTFilter it is not managed by Spring so you can't just ask him to inject the beans and properties for you.

Luckily for you, there is an easy way to make things work!

Try and see if adding the following init method works for you:

public class JWTFilter extends GenericFilterBean {
  @Value("${app.jwtSecret}")
  public String jwtsecret;
  @Autowired
  public JwtBlacklistRepository jwtBlacklistRepository;

  //ask spring to inject the values based on current context
  @PostConstruct
  public void init() {
    SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.processInjectionBasedOnCurrentContext(this);
  }

  @Override
  public void doFilter(final ServletRequest req,
                       final ServletResponse res,
                       final FilterChain chain) throws IOException, 
  ServletException {

  ....
  }
}

This method, ask spring to do the injection for you.
