I'm currently building a standard JwtAuthorizationFilter. I extend the OncePerRequestFilter class for this. Furthermore I have a JwtUtils class, which contains all JWT methods. For example, one method validates the JWT bearer token. However, I keep getting the error that this method (and all others) cannot be invoked because this.jwtUtils is null.
So bassicly I am trying to autowire the JwtUtils classe. But Spring is not giving any instance. Instead it is giving null
Thats my error message
Cannot invoke ... jwt.JwtUtils.validateJwtToken(String)" because "this.jwtUtils" is null
JwtAuthorizationFilter class (the error is throwing here)
@Slf4j
public class JwtAuthorizationFilter extends OncePerRequestFilter {
@Autowired private JwtUtils jwtUtils;
@Autowired private UserDetailsServiceImpl userDetailsService;
@Override
protected void doFilterInternal(
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain)
throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
String jwt = JwtUtils.resolveToken(request);
System.out.println("before if " + jwt);
if (jwtUtils.validateJwtToken(jwt)) { // ERROR !
String username = jwtUtils.getUserNameFromJwtToken(jwt);
UserDetails userDetails = userDetailsService.loadUserByUsername(username);
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken authentication =
new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(
userDetails, null, userDetails.getAuthorities());
authentication.setDetails(new WebAuthenticationDetailsSource().buildDetails(request));
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(authentication);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
JwtAuthorizationFilter.log.error("Cannot set user authentication: {}", e.getMessage());
}
filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
}
}

Problem solver ?
@Bean
public JwtAuthorizationFilter authenticationJwtTokenFilter() {
return new JwtAuthorizationFilter();
}
I found out that the private static JwtAuthorizationFilter authenticationJwtTokenFilter() method is calling the issue. If i change that to a public method it is working, although passwordEncoder is privat static and is used in my auth service . Unfortunately it is my plugin which is causing that problem. It changes the code automatically. Does somebody know what to do ?
AuthService class
@Service
public class AuthService implements AuthServiceRepository {
@Autowired private RoleRepository roleRepository;
@Autowired private UserRepository userRepository;
@Autowired private PasswordEncoder encoder;
@Autowired private JwtUtils jwtUtils;
@Autowired private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
@Autowired private UserService userService;
@Autowired private EmailService emailService;
@Autowired private ConfirmationTokenRepository confirmationTokenRepository;
@Override
public JwtResponse signUpUser(SignUpRequest signUpRequest, String siteURL)
throws MessagingException, UnsupportedEncodingException {
String accessToken = jwtUtils.generateJwtAccessToken(signUpRequest.getUsername());
String refreshToken = jwtUtils.generateJwtRefreshToken(signUpRequest.getUsername());
Set<Role> roles = SignUpRequest.getRoles(signUpRequest, roleRepository);
AppUser user =
new AppUser(
signUpRequest.getUsername(),
signUpRequest.getEmail(),
encoder.encode(signUpRequest.getPassword()));
user.setRoles(roles);
user.setEnabled(false);
AppUser newUser = userService.saveUser(user);
ConfirmationToken confirmationToken = new ConfirmationToken(user);
confirmationTokenRepository.save(confirmationToken);
emailService.sendVerificationEmail(user, siteURL, confirmationToken.getConfirmationToken());
List<String> userRoles =
newUser.getRoles().stream().map(role -> role.getName().name()).collect(Collectors.toList());
return new JwtResponse(
accessToken,
refreshToken,
user.getId(),
signUpRequest.getUsername(),
signUpRequest.getEmail(),
userRoles);
} ... }
That's because JwtUtils and WebSecurityConfig are not registered as Spring Beans. Try to add a @Component annotation to the classes.
