Spring Boot API

In this quickstart, you are going to learn how to integrate a Java Spring Boot resource server with FusionAuth. You will protect an API resource from unauthorized usage. You’ll be building it for ChangeBank, a global leader in converting dollars into coins.

The Docker Compose file and source code for a complete application are available at https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-quickstart-java-springboot-api.

Prerequisites

• Java: Java can be installed via a variety of methods. This app was built using Java 17. You can change which version to use by editing the project’s pom.xml file. The code in this example should be compatible down to Java 8, though minor differences may occur.
• Docker: The quickest way to stand up FusionAuth. Ensure you also have docker compose installed.
• (Alternatively, you can Install FusionAuth Manually).

The example repository already has a Spring Boot application set up that includes a Maven wrapper. You can find out more by viewing:

• Spring Initializr: The Spring Boot template generator webpage.
• Maven Wrapper: A self-contained version of the Maven build tool which will download the application dependencies and compile the source code.

General Architecture

A client wants access to an API resource at /resource. However, it is denied this resource until it acquires an access token from FusionAuth.

Resource Server Authentication with FusionAuth

While the access token is acquired via the Login API above, this is for simplicity of illustration. The token can be, and typically is, acquired through one of the OAuth grants.

Getting Started

In this section, you’ll get FusionAuth up and running and create a resource server which will serve the API.

Clone The Code

First off, grab the code from the repository and change into that directory.

git clone https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-quickstart-java-springboot-api.git
cd fusionauth-quickstart-java-springboot-api

Run FusionAuth Via Docker

You'll find a Docker Compose file (docker-compose.yml) and an environment variables configuration file (.env) in the root directory of the repo.

Assuming you have Docker installed, you can stand up FusionAuth on your machine with the following.

docker compose up -d

Here you are using a bootstrapping feature of FusionAuth called Kickstart. When FusionAuth comes up for the first time, it will look at the kickstart/kickstart.json file and configure FusionAuth to your specified state.

FusionAuth will be initially configured with these settings:

• Your client Id is e9fdb985-9173-4e01-9d73-ac2d60d1dc8e.
• Your client secret is super-secret-secret-that-should-be-regenerated-for-production.
• Your example teller username is teller@example.com and the password is password. They will have the role of teller.
• Your example customer username is customer@example.com and the password is password. They will have the role of customer.
• Your admin username is admin@example.com and the password is password.
• The base URL of FusionAuth is http://localhost:9011/.

You can log in to the FusionAuth admin UI and look around if you want to, but with Docker and Kickstart, everything will already be configured correctly.

Create Your Spring Boot Resource Server Application

Now you are going to create a Spring Boot API application. While this section builds a simple API, you can use the same configuration to integrate an existing API with FusionAuth.

We are going to be building an API backend for a banking application called ChangeBank. This API will have two endpoints:

• make-change: This endpoint will allow you to call GET with a total amount and receive a response indicating how many nickels and pennies are needed to make change. Valid roles are customer and teller.
• panic: Tellers may call this endpoint to call the police in case of an incident. The only valid role is teller.

Both endpoints will be protected such that a valid JSON web token (JWT) will be required in a cookie or the Authorization header in order to be accessed. Additionally, the JWT must have a roles claim containing the appropriate role to use the endpoint.

Make a directory for this API.

mkdir spring-api && cd spring-api

Get The Template

Go to the Initializr site and download your own starter package. You will rely on two dependencies for this project:

• OAuth2 Resource Server
• Spring Web

This example uses:

• Maven
• Spring Boot version 3.1.1
• Java 17
• A Group of io.fusionauth.quickstart.
• A Name of FusionAuthQuickstart.
• An Artifact of springapi.

If you choose different options, the configuration and code may be different.

Download and unzip the package into the spring-api directory.

mv /path/to/downloads/springapi.zip .
unzip springapi.zip
mv springapi/* .
mv springapi/.* .
rm springapi.zip
rmdir springapi

Install the Dependencies

./mvnw package

Configure the Spring Application Properties

Open src/main/resources/application.properties.

spring.security.oauth2.resourceserver.jwt.issuer-uri=http://localhost:9011
spring.security.oauth2.resourceserver.jwt.audiences=e9fdb985-9173-4e01-9d73-ac2d60d1dc8e

We need two properties here:

• spring.security.oauth2.resourceserver.jwt.issuer-uri - This is set to the location of FusionAuth. Spring will call the OpenID Connect Discovery endpoint which can be found under the details view for the Example Application in the Applications View in the FusionAuth admin app. This endpoint allows Spring to look up all the OAuth metadata that it needs to validate tokens created by FusionAuth.
• spring.security.oauth2.resourceserver.jwt.audiences - This is a list of the application ids in FusionAuth allowed for this resource server. FusionAuth will populate this in the aud claim of the JWTs and you will use that claim to validate that the token is intended for this resource server.

If you are using the kickstart the OAuth metadata URL will be http://localhost:9011/.well-known/openid-configuration/d7d09513-a3f5-401c-9685-34ab6c552453.

Write Java Code

Now you are going to write some Java code. You are going to write two API controllers, their corresponding model objects and some Spring configuration.

This tutorial puts all these classes in the same package for simplicity, but for a production application, you’d separate these out.

Add Model Objects

We will need response objects for the API to return. One is the PanicResponse which returns a message when a successful POST call is made to /panic. In the base package create a new class PanicResponse.java.

package io.fusionauth.quickstart.springapi;

public class PanicResponse {

    public PanicResponse(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }

    private String message;

    public String getMessage() {
        return message;
    }

    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this.message = message;
    }
}

Next you need an object to show the breakdown from making change. This object will hold a BigDecimal total and Integers nickels and pennies. In the base package create a new class Change.java.

package io.fusionauth.quickstart.springapi;

import java.math.BigDecimal;

public class Change {
    private BigDecimal total;

    private Integer nickels;

    private Integer pennies;

    public BigDecimal getTotal() {
        return total;
    }

    public void setTotal(BigDecimal total) {
        this.total = total;
    }

    public Integer getNickels() {
        return nickels;
    }

    public void setNickels(Integer nickels) {
        this.nickels = nickels;
    }

    public Integer getPennies() {
        return pennies;
    }

    public void setPennies(Integer pennies) {
        this.pennies = pennies;
    }
}

Add Controllers

Next you need to add controllers to handle API calls. In the base package add a new class MakeChangeController.java.

package io.fusionauth.quickstart.springapi;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.math.RoundingMode;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("make-change")
public class MakeChangeController {

    @GetMapping
    public Change get(@RequestParam(required = false) BigDecimal total) {
        var change = new Change();
        change.setTotal(total);
        change.setNickels(total.divide(new BigDecimal("0.05"), RoundingMode.HALF_DOWN).intValue());
        change.setPennies(total.subtract(new BigDecimal("0.05")
                        .multiply(new BigDecimal(change.getNickels())))
                .multiply(new BigDecimal(100))
                .intValue());
        return change;
    }
}

In this class a total is a HTTP request query parameter that is converted to a BigDecimal, and the get method divides the total into nickels and pennies and returns the response object.

There are three annotations that are important for the controller to work:

• @RestController tells Spring this is a Controller that returns a ResponseBody
• @RequestMapping tells Spring which path this controller responds to
• @GetMapping tells Spring this method handles GET requests

Now, add a controller for tellers to call in an emergency. In the base package add a class PanicController.java.

package io.fusionauth.quickstart.springapi;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("panic")
public class PanicController {

    @PostMapping
    public PanicResponse postPanic() {
        return new PanicResponse("We've called the police!");
    }
}

This class listens on /panic for a POST request and returns a response indicating that the police were called. The annotations are the same as MakeChangeController.java except for @PostMapping indicates a POST request handler.

Add Security

So far you have not done anything with auth, and the controllers are unaware of authentication at all. Now, you’ll protect your endpoints based on the roles encoded in the JWT you receive from FusionAuth. The decoded payload of a JWT for a teller might look like this:

{
  "aud": "e9fdb985-9173-4e01-9d73-ac2d60d1dc8e",
  "exp": 1689289585,
  "iat": 1689285985,
  "iss": "http://localhost:9011",
  "sub": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-111111111111",
  "jti": "ebaa4184-2320-47dd-925b-2e18756c635f",
  "authenticationType": "PASSWORD",
  "email": "teller@example.com",
  "email_verified": true,
  "applicationId": "e9fdb985-9173-4e01-9d73-ac2d60d1dc8e",
  "roles": [
    "teller"
  ],
  "auth_time": 1689285985,
  "tid": "d7d09513-a3f5-401c-9685-34ab6c552453"
}

You need to tell Spring how to parse the roles out of the claim in the JWT, and for that you need a Converter. In the base package add a class CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter.java:

package io.fusionauth.quickstart.springapi;

import org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.AbstractAuthenticationToken;
import org.springframework.security.authentication.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken;
import org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.core.authority.SimpleGrantedAuthority;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.Jwt;

import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;

public class CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter implements Converter<Jwt, AbstractAuthenticationToken> {

    private static final String ROLES_CLAIM = "roles";

    private static final String EMAIL_CLAIM = "email";

    private static final String AUD_CLAIM = "aud";

    private final List<String> audiences;

    public CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter(List<String> audiences) {
        this.audiences = audiences;
    }

    @Override
    public AbstractAuthenticationToken convert(Jwt jwt) {
        String email = jwt.getClaimAsString(EMAIL_CLAIM);
        if (!hasAudience(jwt)) {
            return new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(email, "n/a");
        } else {
            Collection<GrantedAuthority> authorities = extractRoles(jwt);
            return new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(email, "n/a", authorities);
        }
    }

    private boolean hasAudience(Jwt jwt) {
        return jwt.hasClaim(AUD_CLAIM)
                && jwt.getClaimAsStringList(AUD_CLAIM)
                .stream()
                .anyMatch(audiences::contains);
    }

    private List<GrantedAuthority> extractRoles(Jwt jwt) {
        return jwt.hasClaim(ROLES_CLAIM)
                ? jwt.getClaimAsStringList(ROLES_CLAIM)
                    .stream()
                    .map(SimpleGrantedAuthority::new)
                    .collect(Collectors.toList())
                : List.of();
    }
}

This class implements the Converter interface and takes the roles claim and maps it to a Collection<GrantedAuthority> Spring will use to authorize the user. We set these as the authorities on the AuthenticationToken.

Because you are using a custom converter you also need to check the audience. Pull out the aud claim and validate that at least one of them is in the list of configured audiences for this application.

Now you can add a security configuration. In the base package create a new class SecurityConfiguration.java.

package io.fusionauth.quickstart.springapi;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.oauth2.resource.OAuth2ResourceServerProperties;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.JwtDecoder;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.NimbusJwtDecoder;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.resource.web.BearerTokenResolver;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.resource.web.DefaultBearerTokenResolver;
import org.springframework.security.web.SecurityFilterChain;

import jakarta.servlet.http.Cookie;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

@Configuration
public class SecurityConfiguration {

    private final OAuth2ResourceServerProperties properties;

    public SecurityConfiguration(OAuth2ResourceServerProperties properties) {
        this.properties = properties;
    }
    
    @Bean
    BearerTokenResolver bearerTokenResolver() {
        // look in both app.at cookie and Authorization header
        BearerTokenResolver bearerTokenResolver = new BearerTokenResolver () {
            public String resolve(HttpServletRequest request) {
               Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();

               if (cookies != null) {
                   Optional<Cookie> cookie = Arrays.stream(cookies)
                       .filter(name -> name.getName().equals("app.at"))
                       .findFirst();
                   if (cookie.isPresent()) {
                       return cookie.get().getValue();
                   }
               }

               // handles authorization header
               DefaultBearerTokenResolver defaultBearerTokenResolver = new DefaultBearerTokenResolver();
               return defaultBearerTokenResolver.resolve(request);
            }
        };
        return bearerTokenResolver;
    }

    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        List<String> audiences = properties.getJwt().getAudiences();
        CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter converter = new CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter(audiences);

        return http.authorizeHttpRequests(authz -> authz
                        .requestMatchers("make-change")
                            .hasAnyAuthority("customer", "teller")
                        .requestMatchers("panic")
                            .hasAuthority("teller"))
                .oauth2ResourceServer(oauth2 -> oauth2
                        .jwt(jwt -> jwt.jwtAuthenticationConverter(converter)))
                .build();
    }

    @Bean
    public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
        return NimbusJwtDecoder.withIssuerLocation(properties.getJwt().getIssuerUri()).build();
    }
}

This class does a lot in a few lines of code. Let’s break it down:

• @Configuration tells spring to autowire this configuration class and @Bean wires the SecurityFilterChain which will add the rules for handling the security on HTTP requests.
• OAuth2ResourceServerProperties is injected into the configuration bean and holds the values you defined in the application.properties file.
• The custom BearerTokenResolver looks in both the app.at cookie and the Authorization header for the access token
• In the SecurityFilterChain you do the following:
  1. Get audiences list from the OAuth2ResourceServerProperties
  2. Create a new instance of CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter and pass it the audiences list
  3. Tell the filter chain that any requests to /make-change must have the customer or teller role defined in the GrantedAuthority list you extract from the JWT.
  4. Tell the filter chain that any requests to /panic must have the teller role defined in the GrantedAuthority list you extract from the JWT.
  5. Set the oauth2ResourceServer configuration to use the CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter you defined above.
• JwtDecoder this bean tells spring to decode the JWT in the request using the information from the issuer you defined in the properties file.

Run the API

Start the API resource server by running:

./mvnw spring-boot:run

Get a Token

There are several ways to acquire a token in FusionAuth, but for this example you will use the Login API to keep things simple.

First let’s try the requests as the teller@example.com user. Based on the configuration this user has the teller role and should be able to use both /make-change and /panic.

1. Acquire an access token for teller@example by making the following request

curl --location 'http://localhost:9011/api/login' \
--header 'Authorization: this_really_should_be_a_long_random_alphanumeric_value_but_this_still_works' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  "loginId": "teller@example.com",
  "password": "password",
  "applicationId": "e9fdb985-9173-4e01-9d73-ac2d60d1dc8e"
}'

Copy the token from the response, which should look like this:

{
    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6InVOYl9iQzFySHZZTnZMc285VzRkOEprZkxLWSJ9.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.WLzI9hSsCDn3ZoHKA9gaifkd6ASjT03JUmROGFZaezz9xfVbO3quJXEpUpI3poLozYxVcj2hrxKpNT9b7Sp16CUahev5tM0-4_FaYlmUEoMZBKo2JRSH8hg-qVDvnpeu8nL6FXxJII0IK4FNVwrQVFmAz99ZCf7m5xruQSziXPrfDYSU-3OZJ3SRuvD8bMopSiyRvZLx6YjWfBsvGSmMXeh_8vHG5fVkq5w1IkaDdugHnivtJIivHuCfl38kQBgw9rAqJLJoKRHHW0Ha7vHIcS6OCWWMDIIVspLyQNcLC16pL9Nss_5v9HMofow1OvQ9sUSMrbbkipjKq2peSjG7qA",
    "tokenExpirationInstant": 1689353059670,
    "user": {
        ...
    }
}

Make The Request

Make a request to /make-change with a query parameter total=5.12. Use the token as the app.at cookie.

curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/make-change?total=5.12' \
--cookie 'app.at=<your_token>'

Your response should look like this:

{
    "total": 5.12,
    "nickels": 102,
    "pennies": 2
}

You were authorized, success! You can try making the request without the Authorization header or with a different string rather than a valid token, and see that you are denied access.

Next call the /panic endpoint because you are in trouble!

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/panic' \
--cookie 'app.at=<your_token>'

This is a POST not a get because you want all your emergency calls to be non-idempotent.

Your response should look like this:

{
    "message": "We've called the police!"
}

Nice, help is on the way!

Now let’s try as customer@example.com who has the role customer. Acquire a token for customer@example.com.

curl --location 'http://localhost:9011/api/login' \
--header 'Authorization: this_really_should_be_a_long_random_alphanumeric_value_but_this_still_works' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  "loginId": "customer@example.com",
  "password": "password",
  "applicationId": "e9fdb985-9173-4e01-9d73-ac2d60d1dc8e"
}'

Your response should look like this:

{
    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6InVOYl9iQzFySHZZTnZMc285VzRkOEprZkxLWSJ9.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.T1bELQ6a_ItOS0_YYpvqhIVknVMNeamcoC7BWnPjg2lgA9XpCmFA2mVnycoeuz-mSOHbp2cCoauP5opxehBR2lCn4Sz0If6PqgJgXKEpxh5pAxCPt91UyfjH8hGDqE3rDh7E4Hqn7mb-dFFwdfX7CMdKvC3dppMbXAGCZTl0LizApw5KIG9Wmt670339pSf5lzD38P9WAG5Wr7fAmVrIJPVu6yv2FoR-pMYD2lnAF63HWKknrWB-khmhr9ZKRLXKhP1UK-ThY1FSnmpp8eNblsBqCxf6WaYxYkdp5_F2e56M4sQwHzrg4P9tZGVCmMri4dShF3Ck7OGa7hel-iIPew",
    "tokenExpirationInstant": 1689354123118,
    "user": {
        ...
    }
}

Now use that token to call /make-change with a query parameter total=3.24

curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/make-change?total=3.24' \
--cookie 'app.at=<your_token>'

Your response should look like this:

{
    "total": 3.24,
    "nickels": 64,
    "pennies": 4
}

So far so good. Now let’s try to call the /panic endpoint. (We’re adding the -i flag to see the headers of the response)

curl -i --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/panic' \
--cookie 'app.at=<your_token>'

Your response should look like:

HTTP/1.1 403
WWW-Authenticate: Bearer

Next Steps

This quickstart is a great way to get a proof of concept up and running quickly, but to run your API in production, there are some things you're going to want to do.

FusionAuth Integration

• Rather than call the Login API, you're probably going to want to use the Authorization Code grant, which keeps all sensitive credentials within the bounds of FusionAuth. You can customize the hosted login pages.
• You may want to generate a token using the Client Credentials grant if you are calling the API from another service.

Security

• Customize the token expiration times and policies in FusionAuth
• Make sure you know how to securely consume a token
• Secure your API using an API gateway rather than at the framework layer.

Troubleshooting

• I get This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect. when I call the Login API.

Ensure FusionAuth is running in the Docker container. You should be able to login as the admin user, admin@example.com with a password of password at http://localhost:9011/admin.

• The /panic endpoint doesn’t work when I call it.

Make sure you are making a POST call and using a token with the teller role.

• I’m getting an error when running ./mvnw spring-boot:run like this:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'filterChain' defined in class path resource [io/fusionauth/quickstart/springapi/SecurityConfiguration.class]: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.security.web.SecurityFilterChain]: Factory method 'filterChain' threw exception with message: Error creating bean with name 'jwtDecoder' defined in class path resource [io/fusionauth/quickstart/springapi/SecurityConfiguration.class]: Failed to instantiate [org.springframework.security.oauth2.jwt.JwtDecoder]: Factory method 'jwtDecoder' threw exception with message: Cannot invoke "String.length()" because "this.input" is null

Make sure you set up the application.properties file correctly.

• I’m getting an error when running ./mvnw spring-boot:run like this:

[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : 
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] /path/fusionauth-quickstart-springboot-api/spring-api/src/main/java/io/fusionauth/quickstart/springapi/CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter.java:[4,51] package org.springframework.security.authentication does not exist
[ERROR] /path/fusionauth-quickstart-springboot-api/spring-api/src/main/java/io/fusionauth/quickstart/springapi/CustomJwtAuthenticationConverter.java:[5,51] package org.springframework.security.authentication does not exist

Make sure you requested the two required dependencies when you used the Initializr.

• It still doesn’t work

You can always pull down a complete running application and compare what’s different.

git clone https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-quickstart-java-springboot-api.git
cd fusionauth-quickstart-java-springboot-api
docker compose up -d
cd complete-app
./mvnw package spring-boot:run
