Spring Security in JBOSS

[vj_nov]

I'm trying to integrate Spring security with a web application running on JBOSS application server. Is there an example on the web which describes the required steps?
Thanks,
vj_nov

Spring security solution is portable across various application servers.

Do you want to integrate JBoss container security with spring security?

It is possible to use two approaches for integrating spring security with container based security:

- Pre-Authentication functionality
preauth sample application

- JBoss login module

Note that container adapters are no longer supported and have been removed for the 2.5 release. So we dont advise that route.

Thank you all for your replies.
Luke,

What is the suggested approach then? Doing all the authentication/authorization in the web application?

Maverick,

What are the sample application you got running? And which version of JBOSS did you use?

thanks

Have you tried running the sample applications that come with the project in the version of JBoss you are using? If so, did you have any problems? If not then give them a try and post any issues you have here.
