WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter not found

Question

My build.gradle contains:

compile('org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:4.1.3.RELEASE')

Did a "refresh all gradle projects" (im using IntelliJ!)

When i want to extend WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter it says "Create class ...."

The namespace where WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter should be is also not found...

See http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/apidocs/org/springframework/security/config/annotation/web/configuration/WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter.html

I faced same problem with eclipse , I added spring-security-config in build.gradle , but still eclipse could not found the class. Then I just copied the the entire class path and added as import -- import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter; It worked this way. – Tawnytawnya

Answer 1

add maven dependency spring config like this

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-config</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

or download jar and connect to your project

I faced this issue when I added the wrong dependency package from maven. By mistake, I added spring-security-web instead of spring-boot-starter-security.

Please add

spring-boot-starter-security

and it will work :)

If you are using a newer version (> 5.7.0) of spring-boot and hence spring-boot-starter-security, the class WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter is deprecated. See the notes on the GitHub issue. Now on you need to declare beans for each type of component (web, http, etc) that you are trying to configure security for.

Simply you can do this :

import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

Add these dependencies in the pom file in the maven project.
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-security-test</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
