Spring Boot property in @Preauthorize

Question

I\'m setting up a Spring Boot (v1.2.6) web project and using Spring Security (v3.2.8). I\'ve found the @PreAuthorize annotation so handy, but I don\'t know if there\'s a way

Answer 1

This should work:

@Value("${mysecurity.permit}")
private Boolean permit;

Then use:

@PreAuthorize(permit)

But you need to properly set configuration file, to allow Spring access it. Read here: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-external-config.html

UPDATE: Did you configure bean for a property placeholder? For example:

    
    
        classpath:com/foo/app.properties
