Can I use "Spring Webflow" without "Spring Security"? - spring

I need to add a workflow engine on my web application.
I use Form-Based Authentication for my login.
I tried to use Spring Webflow, but as I was searching, I realised that every link I have found, refers also to Spring Security.
Therefor, I would like to know, if I can use Spring Webflow without Spring Security.
Does Spring Webflow work without Spring Security or not?
In case you know the answer, please leave a comment below.
Thank you in advance.

Use single spring boot application as a Spring boot admin and client both

We have one application which is running on the Spring boot, We don't like to add a new application in the environment to manage this application, to do so we like to add spring boot admin feature to the same application. I tried that and able to see the spring admin screen but the client is not getting loaded.
I don't know this is good idea or not.
Please provide your suggestion.
I can see it is working both spring boot admin sever and client both application in one.
But I dont know this is good idea or not. Please provide your inputs
The Spring Boot Admin is invented for monitoring multiple services. In my opinion you should separate them so everyone will has it's job to follow the single responsibility principle. With separation when your application will fail the Spring Boot Admin will catch logs and maybe some additional data, if they are together you won't know what might happen.

How do I disable csrf protection for springfox Swagger UI without Spring Security or Spring Boot?

We have a REST API using Spring MVC that doesn't use Spring Security or Spring Boot. The rest API url is {domain}/product/rest/v1/{controller}. We also have a regular web GUI using Struts2 that is just at {domain}/product/{action}.
We're currently researching autogenerating API documentation using Springfox-swagger and springfox-swagger-ui. It was fairly easy to get Swagger to work using minimal configuration, but the problem is that Springfox by default tries to do a CRSF token request, which we don't use in the rest API. I've googled how to disable this, but every article I can find talks about how to disable it using the Spring Security WebSecurityConfigurationManager. We don't use Spring Security and would rather not have to add it.
Is there a way to disable the Springfox Swaggger UI CSRF token check without using Spring Security or Spring Boot?
For disable the csrf () you need to add spring security in your project follows these link how to disable csrf() in spring.

Converting Spring MVC to Spring Boot app. Is it feasible and worth it?

Also, any suggestions plz on how to start on this?
My Spring MVC application is only a backend service with no front end screen.
I need to connect to Database and OAuth service in the backend in my application.
Since there are many parts missing (from MVC to boot), I'd recommend to create an empty boot project and fill in the mvc parts in the proper place. I could also recommend to use the Jhipster for generating a full spring boot boilerplate!

How to implement Spring Security on my Spring 4.0 RestFul web service?

I just developed a simple restful web service by using Spring 4.0 and Hibernate 4.0, so it is without beans.xml file.
I would like to implement a Spring Security on the web service, since the roles will be performed on the HTTP functions GET, POST and DELETE, i.e. only admin who is allowed to DELETE, manager is allowed to do both POST and GET and the user can only GET data.
I'm looking for a detailed tutorial with example to implement Spring Security? or Do you think there is an easier security mechanism regardless it's strength?
I just found that they in Spring.io added a detailed tutorial with real example developed by Java 8 in their own website, so it is completely annotation-based, which helps for building a RESTful webservice with Spring, testing it and also securing it.
It is really awesome, located HERE

How to use Spring Security in Spray routes?

I'm wondering whether or not it is possible to integrate Spring Security with Spray as a REST layer. I found examples with Play Framework, but I didn't manage to find anything for Spray.
Sure you can. Just use spray-servlet and configure Spring Security as usual.
