Spring Security - form based login + user details in XML + url based access control

this will be the first article that i am writing about the practical implementation of the Spring Security. throughout this article i am expecting to how the Spring Security framework is practically integrated with your Spring MVC Web Application. 

 Those who are new to Spring MVC can refer Spring MVC Web Application article before proceeding with this article. others can download the below source code to continue with this article.


expectation of this article is to discuss the following areas.

1. Form based user authentication with XML based userDetailsService
    (this userDetailsService is known as the In-Memory user detail service)

2. URL based access control with Spring Security


first open the project with your IDE.In my case, i am using Intelli J IDEA.  then you will see the overall project file and directory structure as follows.



then we can proceed with Spring Security Integration for this web application.

first we will look at why spring security is such important. as you are aware, each application can have several user levels. each user level is attached with set of  specific privileges known as user permissions. we should be able to restrict/grant the access for the different areas of the application based on the user level permissions. in order to archive that purpose, we will be using spring security framework. simply, Spring security will be used to control the user access (Access Control) of the application.


the application has not been integrated with the spring security framework yet. therefore you will find following security vulnerabilities of this application.

  1. non-authenticated users(guests) can access the home page dedicated for the authenticated users.    
        http://localhost:8080/spring-mvc-sample/user/home

  1. non-authenticated users(guests) can access the home page dedicated for the admin users.
         http://localhost:8080/spring-mvc-sample/user/admin/welcome


Now we are going to integrate the Spring Security framework with this web application to fix those security vulnerabilities. you can refer the following step to to integrate spring security with sample Spring MVC application given above.


  • first add the Spring Security maven dependency for the pom.xml file.
  •  then do the following spring security filter mapping in the web.xml file
    
  • then add a spring configuration xml file called spring-security.xml directly under the WEB-INF directory of the web application.  your spring-security.xml file should contains following security configurations and declarations.
      

  • finally location of the spring-security.xml file should be passed to the Spring Framework's ContextLoaderListener as contextConfiguration parameter. that can be done by modifying the contextConfigurationLocation parameter of the web.ml as follows.


Now you have successfully integrated your web application with Spring Security Framework.


now you can use following login credentials to check whether the above identified security vulnerabilities still exist.

User Credentials (who has ROLE_USER)

username : chathuranga
password : admin

Admin User Credentials (who has ROLE_ADMIN and ROLE_USER)

username : darshana
password : admin

completed source code of this post can be found at GitHub


i think this post might help you to get some understading of spring security.

Class variable Vs Instance variable in java


-->
both variables are defined inside the class and outside to any method. Therefore both of these variables are in the class scope.

Instance variable
instance variable belongs to an instance of a class. Each instance of the class maintain its own copy of the instance variable(s). Therefore the changes or operations that are done with an instance variable will only be reflected in that instance variable. (no other instance variables are affected)

here is an example for the instance variable.

class sampleClass{

    int count;
}


Class variable
class variables are known as static member variables. Class variable is common to the all instances of the class. In other words, one class variable will be shared with all instances of the class. Class variables are modified with static modifier.

Here is an example for the class variable.

Class sampleClass{
   
    static int count;
}

instance variable and class variable.
Each object(instance) in the class has its own copy of instance variables. But every instances(objects) in the class will be shared one copy of class variables. Therefore the changes that are done for the instance variables will only be visible to that particular instance. But the changes that are done for class variables will be visible to all the instances of that class. This is because the class variables are shared among all instances of the class. Both class variable and member variables have been identified as a member variable of a class.


Hope this will helpful for you!

Adding the executing order for the Servlet 3 Annotation based Filter classes

welcome to my first post o the year 2013 ;) and i today decided to investigate through servlet 3.0 features.  as you all are aware servlet 3 has a nice feature called annotations. therefore we can minimize the XML based declarations on the web.xml deployment descriptor. today i am going to show a simple demonstration on annotated servlet filters and how to add execution order for those servlet filters.

you can generate simple web application project with  following maven command.

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp

one the project is generate, make sure to check and alter the web application deployment descriptor based on the servlet 3 API version . i have post a article about deployment descriptors(web.xml) for different servlet versions   and you can refer that article if you dont know how to do that and what is the purpose of doing that.

after creating the project, add following servlet3 maven dependency for the pom.xml of your project.

then add the following two filters also. you can see that here we are using the annotated servlet filters. 
 FilterOne.java  
FilterTwo.java  

if you need you can add the following servlet class also.  
HelloServlet.java 

you can deploy the web application in the tomcat and access the web application as follows.

http://localhost:8080/sample-servlet3-webapp/hello

then you will get the following result(check the application loggers).
inside the filter one
inside the filter two 
this servlet will be executed after executing the all relevant filters  according to their order 

you can get the full source code from my GitHub account Download Source code through GitHub

web.xml deployment descriptor for diffrent sevlet versions

today i am gong to discuss the different web.xml deployment descriptors available for each servlet API versions. hope this might be helpful for you to decide the correct web.xml DD definition base on the servlet API version you are using.

1. Servlet 2.3 Deployment Descriptor

For Servlet 2.3, using a dtd file to validate the XML content. Not recommend to use, consider upgrading to version 2.4 or 2.5.

P.S Maven 3′s quick start web app is still generating this

web.xml -> Namespace = none
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
 "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" >
 
<web-app>
  <display-name>Servlet 2.3 Web Application</display-name>
</web-app>
 
 

2. Servlet 2.4 deployment descriptor

For Servlet 2.4, using xsd to validate XML content, the most popular web.xml version.
web.xml -> Namespace = http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
 
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
       http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
       version="2.4">

  <display-name>Servlet 2.4 Web Application</display-name>
</web-app>
 
 

3. Servlet 2.5 deployment descriptor

For Servlet 2.5, using xsd to validate XML content, from this version and onward, the namespace is changed.

web.xml -> Namespace = http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
       http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
       version="2.5">

  <display-name>Servlet 2.5 Web Application</display-name>
</web-app>
 
 

4. Servlet 3.0 deployment descriptor

For Servlet 3.0, with xsd validation also, the latest version, but not many people using it.

web.xml -> Namespace = http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
       http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
       version="3.0">

  <display-name>Servlet 3.0 Web Application</display-name>
</web-app>

WSDL (Web Service Description Language) Binding in WebService

WSDL (Web Service Description Language ) describes the web service message format and the protocol details. WSDL style binding describes how the WSDL details are bounded to the web service.  There are two WSDL binding styles.

1. RPC (Remote Procedure Call) Style Binding
2. Document Style Binding

Transefer PHP class instances as session data using serialization, compression and encryption techniques


The intension of this article is to explain how the PHP class instances(objects) are transferred among PHP pages with the use of sessions. All the objects (including contents) will be serialized, then compressed and encrypted prior to store in the user session.
When retrieving the object from the session variable, you need to remember that it is in the base64 decrypted format. Once you decrypt the object, you will get the object as a deflated string(compressed data). Then you need to inflate (decompress) the deflated string. Then you will get the serialized object(instance). Then you need to deserialized (unserialized) the instance to construct the original instance.

 please refer the below project structure.


we will go through each of the source code files as below.

Encrypt MySQL data using AES techniques

the data will be encrypted and stored in the database for providing an additional level of security for the data. In MySQL AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm can be used to encrypt and decrypt the data being inserted and retrieved.

  •  AES_ENCRYPT(data,encryption_key) - the method that can be used to encrypt the data being inserted. 
        e.g:- AES_ENCRYPT('chathuranga','abc123');

  • AES_DECRYPT(encrypted_data,encryptyed_key) 


suppose you need to encrypt and store the username and email of the every user in the database. these encrypted values are stored in the database as binary strings. therefore you must give suitable data types for the columns in the table to accept and hold binary string inputs. therefore we must use varbinary instead of varchar. create the following table in the database.

create table user_table(
user_id int auto_increment primary key,
username varbinary(100),
email varbinary(100));
 

then insert following data into the table created. you can see that  am using AES_ENCRYPT function with cha123 as the key.


insert into user_table values('',AES_ENCRYPT('chathuranga','cha123'),AES_ENCRYPT('chathuranga.t@gmail.com','cha123'));



insert into user_table values('',AES_ENCRYPT('darshana','cha123'),AES_ENCRYPT('chathurangat@lankacom.net','cha123'));


you can see that the data has been stored in a encrypted format. see below screen dump.


 the result of the select query is displayed in the encrypted format. if you need to see the original values (decrypted values) you have to use the AES_DECRYPT function to decrypt the values stored.  the command is as follows.


select AES_DECRYPT(username,'cha123') As username_origianal , AES_DECRYPT(email,'cha123') As email_origianal from user_table;

refer the below screen shot.



 finally try out  the following select statement to understand how to use where clause with an encrypted columns.


select AES_DECRYPT(username,'cha123') As username_origianal , 
AES_DECRYPT(email,'cha123') As email_origianal 
from user_table 
where username = AES_ENCRYPT('chathuranga','cha123');



Hope this will helpful for you!!!

JasperReports with PHP

Today i am going to write this article on the use of JasperReports in PHP as a reporting tool. Here i have used IReport-4.5.0 IDE for designing the JasperReport Template (known as jrxml file).In addition, you require a PHP library(third party) that generates PDF reports from the given jrxml document. this library can be downloaded from the following Git Repository
https://github.com/chathurangat/PhpJasperLibrary

or else you can downloaded through following link


In order to design the template, please follow the steps given below.

1. load the IReport Designer tool
(executable file is available inside the bin directory)


2.after loading the IReport Tool,select new report template to start the report designing.
(File -> New)
then you will get a new window with a list of available report templates. select a template out of the available templates. in my case i have selected the Blank A4 template. please refer below.








then click the Launch Report Wizard to load the selected report template.



3. then give a Report Name and browse a Location where the report file (jrxml file) should be saved.  Please refer below.






4. then click on Next to proceed with next phase. please refer below.





 As you can see in the Screen-shot, you will be displayed a list of available data source connections that can be used in your report. if you wish to create a new data source connection, you are free to do so by clicking New button.


 5. if you click the New button to create new data source, you will be shown the below screen to select the the data source type. ( the data source type should be selected based on the application requirements. ) since this is PHP based web application, i have selected Database JDBC Connection as the data source type.



6. once you select the data source, click on next to proceed with next step. next will be the below screen.



here you have to provide the JDBC connection details.

 Name : just give any name for this connection for later reference  identification purpose


JDBC Driver:  select the most suitable JDBC driver from the given list based on your database. since i am using MySQL server database, i have selected  MySQL-JDBC Driver.


JDBC URL: make sure to edit the jdbc url based on your sever and database name. the default value of the jdbc url does not change, based on the value you provided for server and database. therefore please edit it manually.

Server Address : IP Address of the database sever. if the database is in your local machine, use localhost as IP.

Database : Database name that you are going to connect.


username: Username of the database server.

password : Password of the database server.


after filling all the configuration details, you can test the database conncetion by clicking the Test button provided. sometimes it may ask you to re-enter the database password. if the connection is successful, you will get a successful message as follows. then you can Save your new data source connection.





 7. then you can use your newly created data source for designing the query for your report. select the newly created data source and press Design Query button. then you will get the below window for designing the Query.


 
you will see a list of tables available in the connected database. you can Drag and Drop these tables to the provided area for designing the Query. then customize the columns displayed in the report by using the check boxes provided for each column.


8. once the Query is designed, press OK to finish it. the click Next to proceed with next phase. then next step is to select the required fields for your report out of the available all resulted columns of the Query you designed. add and remove the required database columns for your report with the provided button. please refer the below screen shot.




 9. after completing the above operation, you can press Next button for continue with next phase. next phase is for applying the Group By clause for the report view. then phase is optional and you can skip this step by clicking just Next button. then the initial process of the report design is finished and you will be notified with the below screen. jut click on finish button.



10. then it will load and display the created .jrxml file. you are required to remember that this is the file that contains your report template. you can design the report as you wish by providing preferable title, footer and other required fileds.


11. the designing utilities are available in the Report Inspector window. please refer below screen shot.


as you can see that the selected database column fields are available under the Fields. you can drag and drop the database fields in into the Detail1 Section of your Report.Once you drag a database field, its column header section will be automatically visible under Column Header section. In addition, the data field is visible under the Detail 1 Section. you can edit the column name as you wish.

12. Once the Design is done, you can preview the design using the Preview button. 


13. The Report design elements are available in the palette window. you can get the palette window Window -> Palette


14. Once all the design is done, the it is time to integrate with your PHP application. make sure to download and import the PhpJasperLibrary in your PHP script. (copy both .jasper and .jrxml files into a same directory and give the reference in the PHP script)


report_view.php

<?php

//Import the PhpJasperLibrary
include_once('PhpJasperLibrary/tcpdf/tcpdf.php');
include_once("PhpJasperLibrary/PHPJasperXML.inc.php");


//database connection details

$server="192.168.0.11";
$db="lcs_ims";
$user="web";
$pass="abc123@#";
$version="0.8b";
$pgport=5432;
$pchartfolder="./class/pchart2";


//display errors should be off in the php.ini file
ini_set('display_errors', 0);

//setting the path to the created jrxml file
$xml =  simplexml_load_file("report/chathuReport.jrxml");

$PHPJasperXML = new PHPJasperXML();
//$PHPJasperXML->debugsql=true;
//$PHPJasperXML->arrayParameter=array("parameter1"=>1);
$PHPJasperXML->xml_dismantle($xml);

$PHPJasperXML->transferDBtoArray($server,$user,$pass,$db);
$PHPJasperXML->outpage("I");    //page output method I:standard output  D:Download file


?>



access the report_view.php file in your LAMP/WAMP server. yo will get the report in PDF format.



Hope this will helpful for you!

Cron Job example with PHP and Linux

today i am going to show you a practical example about cron job in linux environment. i extremely believe that you know what is a cron job and what is the purpose of using a crone job. if you dont know just google and get a proper understanding before proceeding with this article.

here i have assumed that you have successfully installed LAMP server in your PC and php projects are running without having any issue. today i am going to show you how to run Cron job in linux that executes the executes the php script in every 1 minute. the php script will insert a record to the given database table at each execution.

1. first set up the database and the table as follows.
/* create the database */
create database cron_job_example;

/* use the database */
use cron_job_example;

/* create the table */
create table cron_job_data(
id int,
name varchar(100),
date_time varchar(100));



2. set up the Php Script in the www directory of your LAMP server as follows.

in my case, it is located at /var/www and create a directory called sample_site

then copy the following Php file to the sample_site directory.

sample.php

<?php

//database connection details

$db_server="localhost";
$db_username="root";
$db_password="abc123@#";
$db_name="cron_job_example";

$con = mysql_connect($db_server,$db_username,$db_password);

if (!$con)
{
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db($db_name, $con);

$date = date("Y-m-d");

mysql_query("INSERT INTO cron_job_data (id, name,date_time)
VALUES (1, 'chathuranga','".$date."')");

3. then use Linux terminal to create the cron job file to achieve the target.

you can use any of preferred text editor (vi, gedit etc...)  to create cron file. use following syntax. i have used gedit text editor for this example.

gedit  name_for_file.cron  (it is importnat that you must use .cron extension with the file name)

in my case,

gedit chathuranga.cron


then add the following entry in the newly opened file.

*/1 * * * *  wget http://localhost/cron_job/cron_job_file.php


general syntax of the above entry
<time_specified>  <command>

<time_specified> - */1 * * * *
<command> - wget http://localhost/cron_job/cron_job_file.php

 more description as follows ......

* * * * * command to be executed
- - - - -
| | | | |
| | | | +----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
| | | +------- month (1 - 12)
| | +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
| +----------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------- min (0 - 59) 


then save the file and use following command in the Linux terminal to execute the cron job you created. (it is good if you can give the full permission(777) for your cron job file before doing following operation)

crontab chathuranga.cron


now your cron job will execute from hereafter.

ps: just google to find more on cronetab commands ;)
