Spring security Cant autowire UserDetailsService

but the error still persist... Any help will be highly appreciated

Answer 1

Through the help of @PraveenKumarLalasangi, i was able to fix the above error...

This is the current working code base

SecurityConfig

@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    private UserDetailsService userDetailsService;


    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService);
    }

    .....
    .....
    .....

}

MyUserDetailsService

@Component
public class MyUserDetailsService implements UserDetailsService {

    @Autowired
    private AccountDao accountDao;

    @Transactional(readOnly=true)
    @Override
    public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String email) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
        Account account = accountDao.findAccountByEmail(email);
        System.out.println("User " + account );

        if(account == null ) {
            throw new UsernameNotFoundException(
                    "User " + email + " was not found in database");
        }

        return (UserDetails) account;
    }
}

FrontController

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages= {"com.springmvcproject.concertio"})
public class FrontController implements WebMvcConfigurer {
     @Bean(name="messageSource")
    public MessageSource getMessageSource() { .....  }

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {....}

    @Override
    public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) { .... }

   @Bean
    InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver(){ .... }
}

WebConfig

public class WebConfig extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer{

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class<?>[] {
            FrontController.class
        };
    }

    @Override
    protected String[] getServletMappings() {
        return new String[] {
            "/" 
        };
    }

}

I hope someone finds this helpful

Answer 2

Spring uses its configuration to find and construct its context. And as a part of its configuration you specify where (in which package(s)) the bean classes are located. @ComponentScan(basePackages= {"com.springmvcproject.concertio"}) tells Spring are beans are associated with the com.springmvcproject.concertio package or its sub packages. Is the MyUserDetailsService class placed in this package or sub packages?
