Trying to figure out how to integrate spring session with an app based on the broadleaf framework and so far it was unsuccessful, tried importing the BroadleafJdbcHttpSessionConfiguration config but it was to no success. Any ideas on how to make it work?
The BroadleafJdbcHttpSessionConfiguration class was added primarily to better support multi-session customer assisted shopping for Customer Service Representatives. The instructions for setting up the BroadleafJdbcHttpSessionConfiguration is in this context. See https://www.broadleafcommerce.com/docs/enterprise/current/multi-customer-assisted-shopping
If you are trying to introduce distributed session management, BroadleafJdbcHttpSessionConfiguration is an option but not recommended. We recommend using Memcached with the Tomcat Session Manager. See https://github.com/magro/memcached-session-manager/wiki/SetupAndConfiguration
The configuration for Memcached and Tomcat Session Manager is pretty easy and it works well.

In activiti 6.0, I have two app: activiti-app and activiti-rest
I want activiti-app and activiti-rest use my custom authentication (own user and group database).
I have follow this question to make a custom authentication session
Configure Activiti to reuse the existing user/group data in Spring Boot
But, after create project, I don't know what should I do next?
I have try to copy .jar code to activiti-app/WEB-INF/lib and activiti-rest/WEB-INF/lib but nothing happend.
So, what should I do after I done my custom authentication project to customize activiti 6.0 user and group.
Many thanks
You need to make sure you configure your custom user and group session factories are registered with the Process Engine Configuration.
There are a couple of ways to do this.
The easiest is to simply update the application engine configuration classes and set the session factories.
If you prefer not to touch the core code (this is more of an issue if using th enterprise edition) or you re using Spring Boot, you can implement an "processEngineConfigurationConfigurer" class which allows you to get access to the Process Engine Configuration before it is initialized.
Which ever way you choose, the registration code is the same:
Map<Class<?>, SessionFactory> sessionFactories = processEngineConfiguration.getSessionFactories();
sessionFactories.put(userManagerFactory.getSessionType(), userManagerFactory);
sessionFactories.put(groupManagerFactory.getSessionType(), groupManagerFactory);
processEngineConfiguration.setSessionFactories(sessionFactories);
This should register your custom session factories.
Hope this helps,

I am developing a jsp dynamic web project on eclipse.
I want to create an website with login functionality. I intend to store users' accounts and passwords in MySQL database. Of course, different users have different roles and rights to access different web pages. What is the best approach to implement it?
So far, I know these approaches:
1) Users enter accounts/passwords in login.jsp. LoginServlet then connects to MySQL database to check if it is correct. AuthenticationFilters will make sure only users with rights can access certain pages.
2) Use Role Based Authentication by declaring user roles in web.xml. I find this approach is not flexible, because I need to declare roles in advance.
3) Use HttpServletRequest's login/logout methods. I have not studied it.
Is my understanding correct? Could someone gives me some suggestions? Some clues would be very helpful!
Besides, I know that using POST alone to send passwords is not safe enough. Many websites suggest to use HTTPS connections. So if using HTTPS connections, does it affect the approach I choose to implement the login function?
Thanks!

Now, I know I need to use Spring. But Spring seems difficult for me... In Spring website I cant find out the link to download jar files. The user guide says I need to use Gradle or Maven, which I haven't used before, and have no idea why I need them. Besides, there are many Spring projects. Which one should I choose? Spring framework?

Have you looked into using Spring Security? It's built for just that. You don't need to be familiar with Spring but it may help.
Here are a couple of tutorials that use database authentication:
1: Spring Security Authentication and Authorization Example with Database Credentials
2: Spring Security Login Example with Database
Edit:
You don't have to Maven or Gradle. You can simply add the jars to your build path and they will work. The only projects you need to implement for the login to work is the Spring Framework and Spring Security.
To use Spring Security without Maven or Gradle:
Download the Spring Framework jars, unzip them, and add them to your project and build path. It's probably a good idea to find a hello world tutorial using Spring to get you started. A quick Google search should turn up many results.
After you have Spring implemented in your project, download the Spring Security jars, unzip those, and add them to your build path. The links to the tutorials that I previously posted will get you started. They may take a little while to go through and you may not understand exactly what is happening behind the scenes, but once you get it set up is works outstanding. I'm also not sure if you are using xml configuration or Java config but I believe those tutorials are for xml.
Spring Security was built so that it could be added to any project and have you up and running with basic configuration in about 15 minutes. After you get the basic login going (it will use the generic login form), you can search for how to implement your own custom login form, add permissions or restrictions to users and url patters, adding custom filters, etc. I encourage you to spend some time learning it as it is highly flexible and customizable.
I have been searching for an example Spring Webservice which is being protected using oauth 2.0..
Looking around I found https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security-oauth/tree/master/samples/oauth2 but there some files seems to be missing from the project.
Two things that I am looking for is :
When user authenticates, user name and password goes to /login.do , now I can not understand how this Servlet is being configured, if its not controller. web.xml is missing.
When I try to see how beans configured then applicationContext.xml is also missing. I am not able to find those files in order to see how things are configured.
Help Required :
Should I use annotation in order to configure my web service or xml configuration. I am willing to use the latest version, and leverage advanced configurations, for better security.
I have another Single page application ( HTML5 ) , which accesses data from this spring web service, which is being hosted on Google App Engine. My ultimate objective is to create a chrome plugin of (html5) pages and use my service from there..
Please suggest a better path so that I can achieve my objectives.
Best regards,

Apologize for late reply.
1) Regarding Oauth2.0 implementation : Since GAE does not support Servlet 3.0 therefore, developer is restricted to servlet 2.5. Therefore I found that we are restricted to 1.0.5.RELEASE. I was able to configure it successfully.
Best Practice on GAE : Rather than following this approach, I would suggest others to use Google Endpoints. As it supports oauth2.0 as well as we can develop REST API relatively quickly.
Scale ability and Response time : Since I was using Spring dependency injection along with spring security, application responded slower than the combination of Google Endpoints and Google Juice, as juice does injection just in time, where as spring prepares everything as soon as new instance starts, which created problem for me.
2) Chrome Plugin is completely different story. :-)
Please correct if I am wrong.
Thanks,

I'm developing two java web-applications through (springDataJPA,spring and vaadin). Now I want to make a login module usable from both applications.
I worked with JAAS a few month ago, and I want any suggestion about the tecnology to use to implement it.
Can i make this using spring Security?
Can you give me any suggestion about this?
Use spring-security, create database with users. And use them in both web apps
Look for this tutorial:
spring-security with database
My application uses Spring Security and Spring MVC and is hosted on Glassfish 3.1.2.
I'm looking for a forum software (phpBB like) that I can integrate easily in my app.
Does anyone know some ?
I found JForum but it's a web app which needs to be installed... Maybe should I install it and copy the directory in my application?
I tried jForum, and even if it seems that the project is not continuing, it fits to my application.
To get it working with Spring, I had to use SSO (Single sign-on) by modifying jForum config.
In the file SystemGlobals.properties, I had to change property authentication.type = default to authentication.type = sso.
jForum will use the remote user of the request context.
See classes below for more informations
