								= 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.
