When the principal of the Authentication is an object, it is not necessarily
an User: it could be another implementation of UserDetails, or even a
completely unrelated type. Since the type of the object is serialized as a
property and used by the deserialization anyway, there's no point in
enforcing a stricter type.
Not only is it more efficient without converting to an intermediate String,
using JsonNode.toString() may not even produce valid JSON according to its
Javadoc (ObjectMapper.writeValueAsString() should be used).
GrantedAuthorityImpl has been replaced a couple of years ago with
SimpleGrantedAuthority and this commit fixes the documentation items
which weren’t updated to reflect this change.
Fixes gh-4163.
This commit creates a UserBuilder and updates samples to use it. We do not
leverate it for JdbcUserDetailsManager because it requires the schema to
be created which is difficult with a single bean definition and
unpredicatble ordering. For this, it is still advised to use
AuthenticationManagerBuilder
Fixes gh-4095
Previous to this commit, role prefix had to be set in every class
causing repetition. Now, bean `GrantedAuthorityDefaults` can be used to
define the role prefix in a single point.
Fixes gh-3701
Introduced `RoleHierarchyUtils` which enables convenient
construction of `RoleHierarchy` from map based representation.
Where the map key is the role name and the map value is a list
of implied role names.
Here is a small example for that in action:

Issue gh-3736
* ClassLoader argument - this is required because we do not want to assume
the ClassLoader that should be used
* Clean up logging - logging is now at debug level because we don't expect
all of the modules are loaded (they are quite possibly off the ClassPath)
* Remove ObjectUtils as it was being used on methods that expect a
Collection or Array with non collection based objects
* Polish Javadoc warnings
Previously the JSON modules didn't use Spring's Assert.
This commit changes the assertions to use Spring's Assert and does
some minor restructuring.
Issue gh-3736
According to the SpringSecurityMessageSource documentation class which uses
SpringSecurityMessageSource should also implement MessageSourceAware interface
in order to support alternative message source.
Issue gh-4048
Document why InteractiveAuthenticationEvent doesn't extend
AuthentcationEvent. This is to avoid multiple AuthenticationSuccessEvent
from being sent to any listeners.
Fixes gh-3857
It is now possible to provide a SpEL expression for
@AuthenticationPrincipal. This allows invoking custom logic including
methods on the principal object.
Fixes gh-3859
