|  | = Method Security in GraalVM Native Image | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Although xref:servlet/authorization/method-security.adoc[Method Security] is supported in GraalVM Native Image, there are some use cases that need additional hints provided by the application. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | == Using `@PreAuthorize` and `@PostAuthorize` Annotations | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Using `@PreAuthorize` and `@PostAuthorize` annotations require additional hints if you have a custom implementation of `UserDetails` or `Authentication` classes. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Let's take an example where you have a custom implementation of `UserDetails` class as follows and that implementation is returned by your `UserDetailsService`: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | .Custom Implementation of UserDetails | ||
|  | [source,java] | ||
|  | ---- | ||
|  | public class CustomUserDetails implements UserDetails { | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     private final String username; | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     private final String password; | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     private final Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> authorities; | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     public boolean isAdmin() { | ||
|  |         return this.authorities.contains(new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_ADMIN")); | ||
|  |     } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     // constructors, getters and setters | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | ---- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | And you want to use the `isAdmin()` method inside a `@PreAuthorize` annotation as follows: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | .Using isAdmin() to secure a method | ||
|  | [source,java] | ||
|  | ---- | ||
|  | @PreAuthorize("principal?.isAdmin()") | ||
|  | public String hello() { | ||
|  |     return "Hello!"; | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | ---- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | [NOTE] | ||
|  | ==== | ||
|  | Remember that you need to xref:servlet/authorization/method-security.adoc#jc-enable-method-security[add `@EnableMethodSecurity` annotation] to your configuration class to enable method security annotations. | ||
|  | ==== | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/native-image.html#native-image.developing-your-first-application[run the native image] of your application with the above configuration, you will get an error similar to the following when trying to invoke the `hello()` method: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | [source] | ||
|  | ---- | ||
|  | failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to evaluate expression 'principal?.isAdmin()' with root cause | ||
|  | org.springframework.expression.spel.SpelEvaluationException: EL1004E: Method call: Method isAdmin() cannot be found on type com.mypackage.CustomUserDetails | ||
|  | ---- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Which means that the `isAdmin()` method cannot be found on the `CustomUserDetails` class. | ||
|  | This is because Spring Security uses reflection to invoke the `isAdmin()` method and GraalVM Native Image does not support reflection by default. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | To fix this issue, you need to give hints to GraalVM Native Image to allow reflection on the `CustomUserDetails#isAdmin()` method. | ||
|  | We can do that by providing a https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/native-image.html#native-image.advanced.custom-hints[custom hint]. | ||
|  | In this example we are going to use {spring-framework-reference-url}core.html#core.aot.hints.register-reflection-for-binding[the `@RegisterReflectionForBinding` annotation]. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | [NOTE] | ||
|  | ==== | ||
|  | You might need to register all your classes that you want to use in your `@PreAuthorize` and `@PostAuthorize` annotations. | ||
|  | ==== | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | .Using @RegisterReflectionForBinding | ||
|  | [source,java] | ||
|  | ---- | ||
|  | @Configuration | ||
|  | @RegisterReflectionForBinding(CustomUserDetails.class) | ||
|  | public class MyConfiguration { | ||
|  |     //... | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | ---- | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | And that's it, now you can run the native image of your application and it should work as expected. |
