Description

Arlo O'Keeffe (Migrated from SEC-2923) said:

As the title says SpringCacheBasedUserCache's constructor throws Exception which I believe to be unnecessary.

See current SpringCacheBasedUserCache.

Research direction

Start in core/src/main/java/org/springframework/security/core/userdetails/cache/SpringCacheBasedUserCache.java at the constructor referenced by the issue. Check whether the constructor uses or propagates a checked exception, then inspect its callers to confirm the declaration is unnecessary. Done means the constructor API no longer requires that exception and the relevant project tests pass.
