I think you need to register the roleVoter at the accessDecisionManager.
@See this answer for an example.
But to be honest, I doubt the Spring Hierarchical Voter concept, because you need to add a special hierarchical voter everywhere. I personally prefer an other way: I have implemented an custom JdbcDaoImpl that overrides the addCustomAuthorities and add "normal" Roles to the "existing" once.
/**
* Extension of {@link JdbcDaoImpl} User Detail Provider, so that is uses the
* {@link PrivilegesService} to extend the provided Authorities.
*
*/
public class JdbcDaoPrivilegesImpl extends JdbcDaoImpl {
private PrivilegesService privilegesService;
public JdbcDaoPrivilegesImpl(final PrivilegesService privilegesService) {
this.privilegesService = privilegesService;
}
@Override
protected void addCustomAuthorities(String username, List<GrantedAuthority> authorities) {
super.addCustomAuthorities(username, authorities);
List<GrantedAuthority> privileges = new ArrayList<GrantedAuthority>();
for (GrantedAuthority role : authorities) {
privileges.addAll(privilegesService.getPrivilegesForRole(role));
}
authorities.addAll(privileges);
}
}
public interface PrivilegesService {
Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> getPrivilegesForRole(GrantedAuthority role);
}
public class PropertyPrivilegesServiceImpl implements PrivilegesService {
/**
* Property bases mapping of roles to privileges.
* Every role is one line, the privileges are comma separated.
*/
private Properties roleToPrivileges;
public PropertyPrivilegesServiceImpl(Properties roleToPrivileges) {
if (roleToPrivileges == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("roleToPrivileges must not be null");
}
this.roleToPrivileges = roleToPrivileges;
}
@Override
public Collection<? extends GrantedAuthority> getPrivilegesForRole(GrantedAuthority role) {
if (roleToPrivileges == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("role must not be null");
}
String authority = role.getAuthority();
if(authority != null) {
String commaSeparatedPrivileges = roleToPrivileges.getProperty(role.getAuthority());
if (commaSeparatedPrivileges != null) {
List<GrantedAuthority> privileges = new ArrayList<GrantedAuthority>();
for(String privilegeName : StringUtils.commaDelimitedListToSet(commaSeparatedPrivileges)) {
privileges.add(new GrantedAuthorityImpl(privilegeName.trim()));
}
return privileges;
} else {
return Collections.emptyList();
}
} else {
return Collections.emptyList();
}
}
}
