I’m stuck in this issue for a long time. I want to use @Secure to add Access Control to my controller ArticleController.java like this:
@RequestMapping(headers = "Accept=application/json")
@ResponseBody
@Secured("ROLE_ADMIN")
public ResponseEntity<String> listJson() {
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.add("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
List<Article> result = Article.findAllArticles();
return new ResponseEntity<String>(Article.toJsonArray(result), headers, HttpStatus.OK);
}
listJson return a Json object for Articles but only Admin can read them. OK now I configure the Spring-Security to make this work.
I use security setup function of Spring-ROO, the following configures generated:
In web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath*:META-INF/spring/applicationContext*.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
....
<servlet>
<servlet-name>BabyPortal</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>WEB-INF/spring/webmvc-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

Firstly I tried adding the <global-method-security mode="aspectj" secured-annotations="enabled" pre-post-annotations="enabled"/> to /spring/applicationContext-security.xml but didn’t work. Then maybe the the controller is not in the same context of security context, so I add the to /spring/webmvc-config.xml which started with DispatcherServlet, didn’t work.
I also added to another default applicationContext.xml, it didn’t work either. I don’t know how to configure the <global-method-security> that can make the method security work. It seems I only use one context, did I miss something? Hope the information is enough to make this issue clear.
PS: The generated URL method works very well: <intercept-url pattern="/*.html" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" />.
Added:
According to @LukeTaylor ‘s comments: I added the <global-method-security> to webmvc-config.xml and removed the mode="aspectj", it works, and I did some experiments, still have some questions:
1) It works but only for ArticleController.java, the @Secure tag in ArticleController_Roo_Controller.aj still don’t work, is that something related to “waving”?
2) Can you explain to me why mode=aspectj make it mess here?
As suggested by @Luke Taylor in the comments the tag
<sec:global-method-security/>needs to be defined in the dispatcher-servlet.xml(webmvc-config.xml in this case) file. And there is no need to have attributemode="aspectj".Thanks.
