Spring Boot UnsatisfiedDependencyException Error creating bean with name unresolvable circular reference

Question

I'm developing an application with Spring Secuity where I have some custom filters, but I have problems configuring them correctly. Consider the following custom filters:

LoginAuthenticationFilter:

package com.espiritware.opusclick.restfullbackend.security.filters;


public class LoginAuthenticationFilter extends OncePerRequestFilter{
    
    private static final String TOKEN_PREFIX = "Bearer ";
    private static final String HEADER_STRING = "Authorization";
    private String credentialsCharset = "UTF-8";

    @Autowired
    private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
    
    @Autowired
    private TokenService tokenService;
    
    
    @Override
    protected void doFilterInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        
        String header = request.getHeader("Authorization");
        
        if (header == null || !header.startsWith("Basic ")) {
            filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
            return;
        }
        
        String[] tokens = extractAndDecodeHeader(header, request);
        String email = tokens[0];
        String password = tokens[1];
        
        
        if(request.getServletPath().equals("/login/user")) {
            LoginAuthenticationFilter opusClickAuth= new OpusClickLoginAuthentication(email,password,true);
            try {
                Authentication result=authenticationManager.authenticate(opusClickAuth);
                if(result.isAuthenticated()) {
                    //SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(result);
                    String jwtToken=tokenService.createAuthenticationToken(result,true);
                    response.addHeader("Access-Control-Expose-Headers", "Authorization");
                    response.addHeader(HEADER_STRING, TOKEN_PREFIX + jwtToken);
                    response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
                }
            }catch(AuthenticationException failed) {
                //SecurityContextHolder.clearContext();
                response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
            }
        }
        else {
            LoginAuthenticationFilter opusClickAuth= new OpusClickLoginAuthentication(email,password,false);
            try {
                Authentication result=authenticationManager.authenticate(opusClickAuth);
                if(result.isAuthenticated()) {
                    //SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(result);
                    String jwtToken=tokenService.createAuthenticationToken(result,false);
                    response.addHeader("Access-Control-Expose-Headers", "Authorization");
                    response.addHeader(HEADER_STRING, TOKEN_PREFIX + jwtToken);
                    response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
                }
            }catch(AuthenticationException failed) {
                //SecurityContextHolder.clearContext();
                response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
            }
        }
    }
    
    protected String[] extractAndDecodeHeader(String header, HttpServletRequest request)
            throws IOException {

        byte[] base64Token = header.substring(6).getBytes("UTF-8");
        byte[] decoded;
        try {
            decoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(base64Token);
        }
        catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
            throw new BadCredentialsException(
                    "Failed to decode basic authentication token");
        }

        String token = new String(decoded, getCredentialsCharset(request));

        int delim = token.indexOf(":");

        if (delim == -1) {
            throw new BadCredentialsException("Invalid basic authentication token");
        }
        return new String[] { token.substring(0, delim), token.substring(delim + 1) };
    }
    
    protected String getCredentialsCharset(HttpServletRequest httpRequest) {
        return this.credentialsCharset;
    }
    
    
    //No debe filtrar
    //false -> se activa
    //true -> no se activa
    @Override
    protected boolean shouldNotFilter(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException {
        if(request.getServletPath().equals("/login/user")|| request.getServletPath().equals("/login/expert")){
            return false;
        }
        else {
            return true;
        }
    }

}

JwtAuthenticationFilter:

package com.espiritware.opusclick.restfullbackend.security.filters;

public class JwtAuthenticationFilter extends OncePerRequestFilter{
    
    @Autowired
    private AuthenticationManager authenticationManager;
    
    @Autowired
    private TokenService tokenService;

    @Override
    protected void doFilterInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, FilterChain filterChain)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        
        String header = request.getHeader("Authorization");
        
        if (header == null || !header.startsWith("Bearer ")) {
            filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
            return;
        }
        
        String jwtToken=extractToken(header);
        JwtAuthentication jwtAuthentication = new JwtAuthentication(jwtToken);
        
        try {
            Authentication result=authenticationManager.authenticate(jwtAuthentication);
            SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(result);
            filterChain.doFilter(request, response);
        }catch(AuthenticationException failed) {
            SecurityContextHolder.clearContext();
            response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
        }
        authenticationManager.authenticate(jwtAuthentication);
    }
    
    protected String extractToken(String header){

        int delim = header.indexOf(" ");

        if (delim == -1) {
            throw new BadCredentialsException("Invalid authentication token");
        }
        return header.substring(delim + 1);
    }
    
    
    @Override
    protected boolean shouldNotFilter(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException {
        if(request.getServletPath().equals("/login/user")|| request.getServletPath().equals("/login/expert")){
            return true;
        }
        else {
            return false;
        }
    }

}

FilterConfigurations:

package com.espiritware.opusclick.restfullbackend.security.filters.configurations;
@Configuration
public class FilterConfigurations {
    
    @Bean
    public LoginAuthenticationFilter opusClickLoginAuthenticationFilter() {
        return new OpusClickLoginAuthenticationFilter();
    }
    
    @Bean
    public JwtAuthenticationFilter jwtAuthenticationFilter() {
        return new JwtAuthenticationFilter();
    }
    
}

WebAppSecurityConfiguration: (Fails)

package com.espiritware.opusclick.restfullbackend.security;

@Configuration
public class WebAppSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
        
    @Autowired
    private LoginAuthenticationFilter opusClickLoginAuthenticationFilter;
    
    @Autowired
    private JwtAuthenticationFilter jwtAuthenticationFilter;
    
     @Override
     protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
         //http.oauth2Client();
         http.sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS);
         
         http.addFilterAt(LoginAuthenticationFilter,
                    BasicAuthenticationFilter.class)
              .addFilterAt(jwtAuthenticationFilter, 
                    BasicAuthenticationFilter.class);
         
         http.authorizeRequests()
                .anyRequest()
                .authenticated()
            .and()  
                .httpBasic();
         
         
     }
     
     
    @Bean
    public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
        return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
    }
    
//  @Bean
//  public LoginAuthenticationFilter LoginAuthenticationFilter() {
//      return new LoginAuthenticationFilter();
//  }
    
//  @Bean
//  public JwtAuthenticationFilter jwtAuthenticationFilter() {
//      return new JwtAuthenticationFilter();
//  }
    
    @Bean
    @Override
    public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
        return super.authenticationManagerBean();
    }

}

When I run the application it throws me the following exception:

However, when I comment on my entire FilterConfigurations class and I do the configuration of my filters beans directly in my WebAppSecurityConfiguration that works without problems:

WebAppSecurityConfiguration: (Works Without Problems)

package com.espiritware.opusclick.restfullbackend.security;

@Configuration
public class WebAppSecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
        
    //@Autowired
    //private LoginAuthenticationFilter opusClickLoginAuthenticationFilter;
    
    //@Autowired
    //private JwtAuthenticationFilter jwtAuthenticationFilter;
    
     @Override
     protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
         //http.oauth2Client();
         http.sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS);
         
         http.addFilterAt(LoginAuthenticationFilter(),
                    BasicAuthenticationFilter.class)
              .addFilterAt(jwtAuthenticationFilter(), 
                    BasicAuthenticationFilter.class);
         
         http.authorizeRequests()
                .anyRequest()
                .authenticated()
            .and()  
                .httpBasic();
         
         
     }
     
     
    @Bean
    public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
        return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
    }
    
    @Bean
    public LoginAuthenticationFilter LoginAuthenticationFilter() {
        return new LoginAuthenticationFilter();
    }
    
    @Bean
    public JwtAuthenticationFilter jwtAuthenticationFilter() {
        return new JwtAuthenticationFilter();
    }
    
    @Bean
    @Override
    public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
        return super.authenticationManagerBean();
    }

}

My Question is for what reason when I do the same configuration in my FilterConfigurations this stops working. I don't know if it is because this class found in another package. Someone who can explain the reason for this strange behavior?

Many Thanks!

Answer 1

Definitely issue is related with two annotations: @Autowired for filters and @Bean annotation for authenticationManagerBean method. First of all need to understand that WebAppSecurityConfiguration class will be ready for use when both filters were autowired, but for successful autowiring both filters have relation on AuthenticationManager , and for that target we marked method authenticationManagerBean by @Bean annotation, and Spring tried to create AuthenticationManager in following way:

public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
    return new AuthenticationManagerDelegator(this.authenticationBuilder, this.context);
}

as you can see for creating AuthenticationManagerDelegator we should have initialized two fields authenticationBuilder and context , but we have just started creating our WebAppSecurityConfiguration configuration bean, which will be marked as on creation until all fields are initialized, it was made specifically for avoiding of using uninitialized fields and getting NullPointerException exceptions. But if review the second option of beans defitions, the workflow of beans creation was changed in following way:

1. WebAppSecurityConfiguration doesn't have fields for autowiring and we can easily create first of all configuration bean and unmark like in creation
2. after config bean was created, all @Bean annotations will be processed and on creating authenticationManagerBean we will not get the exception, because all fields were initialized when we was creating WebAppSecurityConfiguration configuration and now we can use all parent methods safely.

PS From my point of view, defining beans in following way:

@Bean
@Override
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
    return super.authenticationManagerBean();
}

is not good idea, because WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter class will create all required components(beans) in correct order, and these methods from parent class were opened for customization implementation of bean in following way:

@Override
public AuthenticationManager authenticationManagerBean() throws Exception {
    return new CustomAuthenticationManager(...);
}

Answer 2

To eliminate this issue you have to create a bean outside of the WebSecurity class since I noticed @autowired and @bean mess up sometimes by container, the reason is he can't identify the objects at the run time.

    @Component
public class PasswordEncoderConfiguration {

    @Bean
    BCryptPasswordEncoder passwordEncoder(){
        return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
    }
}

and you have to Autowired this to Websecurityconfig class by using below,

@Autowired
private BCryptPasswordEncoder passwordEncoder;

    @Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
    // configure AuthenticationManager so that it knows from where to load
    // user for matching credentials
    // Use BCryptPasswordEncoder
    auth.userDetailsService(jwtUserDetailsService).passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder);
}

Answer 3

@Configuration is for Bean config, you can't use @Autowired to auto inject common beans, It seems that it only supports these two kind of inject 1)@Value("${bean.name}") String beanName;
2)@Inject Environment env; Environment is a special bean in spring

WebAppSecurityConfiguration is more like a @Component Bean, not a @Configuration Bean, you can use @Component and @Autowired together to inject filter Beans.

@Configuration is just for Bean config, if DemoService has a @Service annotion, you can inject it this way in @Configuration class

@Bean
public JwtAuthenticationFilter jwtAuthenticationFilter(DemoService demoService) {
    return new JwtAuthenticationFilter(demoService);
}
