I need to access the currently logged in user in one of my methods. I am using spring security and i am positive that when there is a logged in user and the javascript sends a POST request to the RestController the principal throws NullPointerException. Here is the Spring Security configuration
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
@Autowired
private IUsersService usersService;
@Override
protected void configure(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.userDetailsService(usersService);
}
@Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
http
.authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/",
"/css/**",
"/static/**",
"/api/**",
"/home",
"/register",
"/forgot-password",
"/api/createArena")
.permitAll()
.anyRequest()
.authenticated()
.and()
.formLogin()
.defaultSuccessUrl("/dashboard", true)
.loginPage("/login")
.permitAll()
.and()
.logout()
.permitAll();
}
@Override
public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
web.ignoring().antMatchers("/api/register", "/api/createArena");
}
@Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.userDetailsService(usersService)
.passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
}
@Bean
public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}
}
Here is the RestController responsible for the handling of the POST method in mind. The curious thing is that i have tested the first GET method and the principal there is not null and shows the correct currently signed in user.
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class ArenasController {
private final IArenasService arenasService;
private final IUsersService usersService;
@Autowired
public ArenasController(IArenasService arenasService,
IUsersService usersService) {
this.arenasService = arenasService;
this.usersService = usersService;
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/arena/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public Arena getArena(@PathVariable String id) {
return this.arenasService.getArena(Integer.parseInt(id));
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/createArena", method = RequestMethod.POST)
@ResponseBody
public Arena createArena(@RequestBody Arena arena, Principal principal) {
String userEmail = principal.getName(); // Here is the exception thrown
User user = this.usersService.getUserByEmail(userEmail);
Arena created = this.arenasService.createArena(arena);
if(created.getId() != 0){
this.usersService.installationCompleted(user);
}
return created;
}
}
Here is the stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException: null

I have been researching and i know that there are other questions like that but none of the solutions work for my case. Thank you in advance.
