Confused about how to get started

[Dominic1983]

Hi,

We have OAuth implemented on another server in .Net and we need to protect REST webservices written in Java under Spring MVC.

I don't need to implement a new OAuth server just check that requests have a valid access token. This will then talk to the .Net webservices to check.

How do I go about doing this? I have looked at the example code and documentation and haven't seen much to go on.

Can I just implement some kind of filter to do this?

Thanks for your help

Basically, it's a matter of applying an instance of ProtectedResourceProcessingFilter to your REST requests.

It's a servlet filter, so you may not even need to bring in the whole spring framework, but then you'd have to wire it up and configure it by hand.
