protecting rest server with a username and password

[cutout33]

Hi,

Am new to rest and I was wondering hat is the best way to protect my rest server (based on spring 3) with a username and password that will require people to login before they can access the rest methods.

thanks in advance

Hi,
a good approach is taking spring security for that. There a numerous of examples out there if you google for it.
