Read spring security reference.

UserDetails / UserDetailsService / JdbcDaoImpl / DaoAuthenticationProvider / GrantedAuthority

We do this, and basically we just have our User object implement UserDetails. Then we have written a custom UserDetailsService to grab our user out of the database and populate the grantedAuthorities and continue on the chain. The standard AuthenticationMananger will compare the passwords and authenticate the user placing it into session when it is done. Works very slick and only one method to overwrite.
