I know there are two methods to integrate facebook login with a Java application:
1) Using Facebook code (JavaScript)
I could use the Facebook provided code blew to allow users to login but the problem is that, I am not sure how to send user's details to the back-end.If I use Javascript function to send response object to back-end it can be accessible by hackers (lets say I use Ajax to send email of logged in user to back-end). Is there any other way to do it?
2)Spring Social - Facebook
I know I can use Spring Social, but the problem is that it is based on Spring Web framework and it seems it is difficult to integrate it with Struts2, as it is using annotations such as /connect/facebook. and redirect code such as
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<title>Facebook Login JavaScript Example</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

<body>
<script>
// This is called with the results from from FB.getLoginStatus().
function statusChangeCallback(response) {
console.log('statusChangeCallback');
console.log(response);
// The response object is returned with a status field that lets the
// app know the current login status of the person.
// Full docs on the response object can be found in the documentation
// for FB.getLoginStatus().
if (response.status === 'connected') {
// Logged into your app and Facebook.
testAPI();
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
// The person is logged into Facebook, but not your app.
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = 'Please log ' +
'into this app.';
} else {
// The person is not logged into Facebook, so we're not sure if
// they are logged into this app or not.
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = 'Please log ' +
'into Facebook.';
}
}
// This function is called when someone finishes with the Login
// Button. See the onlogin handler attached to it in the sample
// code below.
function checkLoginState() {
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
statusChangeCallback(response);
});
}
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '{your-app-id}',
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access
// the session
xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page
version : 'v2.0' // use version 2.0
});
// Now that we've initialized the JavaScript SDK, we call
// FB.getLoginStatus(). This function gets the state of the
// person visiting this page and can return one of three states to
// the callback you provide. They can be:
//
// 1. Logged into your app ('connected')
// 2. Logged into Facebook, but not your app ('not_authorized')
// 3. Not logged into Facebook and can't tell if they are logged into
// your app or not.
//
// These three cases are handled in the callback function.
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
statusChangeCallback(response);
});
};
// Load the SDK asynchronously
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
// Here we run a very simple test of the Graph API after login is
// successful. See statusChangeCallback() for when this call is made.
function testAPI() {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Successful login for: ' + response.name);
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML =
'Thanks for logging in, ' + response.name + '!';
});
}
</script>
<!--
Below we include the Login Button social plugin. This button uses
the JavaScript SDK to present a graphical Login button that triggers
the FB.login() function when clicked.
-->
<fb:login-button scope="public_profile,email" onlogin="checkLoginState();">
</fb:login-button>
<div id="status">
</div>
