AppFuse Spring Security/AspectJ issues

[Scott Hong]

Hi,

I followed the steps by tracing through the differences to migrate my AppFuse based application from Acegi secutiry to Spring Security. There are changes/customizations to use Freemarker as the major view renderer.

One issue I observed is that it took a significant longer time (5 seconds) to get the signup page rendered. After tracing into the code, it seems to be caused by the pointcut expression cannot be parsed correctly resulted in AspectJ/forName throwing tons of "ClassNotFound Exception" and been swallowed deep inside the code. As shown below as extracted from security.xml, if the "pointcut" using fully quality classpath will results in ClassNotFound exceptions (tons of them) which the second form works ok. Displaying the signup page shotened from 5 seconds to about 1 second. I am still trying to figure out why for a single signup page could take such a long time to render.

Spring Security setting security.xml
<!-- This one will cause ClassNotFound exception -->
    <global-method-security>
        <protect-pointcut expression="execution(* org.appfuse.app.service.UserManager.getUsers(..))" access="ROLE_ADMIN"/>
        <protect-pointcut expression="execution(* com.appfuse.app.service.UserManager.removeUser(..))" access="ROLE_ADMIN"/>
    </global-method-security>

<-- This one works ok -->
    <global-method-security>
        <protect-pointcut expression="execution(* *..service.UserManager.getUsers(..))" access="ROLE_ADMIN"/>
        <protect-pointcut expression="execution(* *..service.UserManager.removeUser(..))" access="ROLE_ADMIN"/>
    </global-method-security>

I've tried spring security 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 as well as AspectJ 1.5.2a and 1.5.4 with the same problem. I remember seeing AspectJ 1.6.0 is about to be released but I don't know whether this will solve the problem or not.

Any one encounter the same issues?

Thanks,

I haven't seen this issue and haven't noticed an abnormally long time
to render the signup pages. What web framework are you using? I'm
happy to make the change you suggest below, but I'm not convinced it's
necessary.

FWIW, we have upgraded to AspectJ 1.6.0 for AppFuse 2.0.2.

Your first e-mail to the list indicated that were having issues with
Spring Security. Now you're saying it's caused by FreeMarker. Are you
saying that the first change (to security.xml) doesn't improve
performance?

Matt,

The problem is actually caused by Spring Security with the "PointCut" expression after tracing into the exception code. I am pretty sure of this part. Freemarker part is a separate issue on itself. Please ignore this part.

Thanks,

Can you please enter a bug in JIRA for this? If you enter it today, I
should be able to get it into the 2.0.2 release.

Please provide steps to reproduce on a 2.0.2-SNAPSHOT project.

Hi Matt,

I will try to reproduce using 2.0.2 snapshot tonight.
Thanks!

Matt,
I've submitted an issue.
http://issues.appfuse.org/browse/APF-1062

Using the original security pointcut settings, it actually took longer (10 seconds) to load the first time compared to the changes one.

Thanks,

-Scott Hong


Hi Matt,

I will try to reproduce using 2.0.2 snapshot tonight.
Thanks!

Can you please enter a bug in JIRA for this? If you enter it today, I
should be able to get it into the 2.0.2 release.

Please provide steps to reproduce on a 2.0.2-SNAPSHOT project.
