i want to use The Spring Security Facelets tag library to secure my UI components in my JSF 2 pages
i have following dependencies for spring security version 3.0.5:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-core</artifactId>
<version>${spring-security.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-web</artifactId>
<version>${spring-security.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-config</artifactId>
<version>${spring-security.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-taglibs</artifactId>
<version>${spring-security.version}</version>
</dependency>
i configured applicationSecurity.xml to make spring security login, and it works fine with UserDetailsService, and when tried to add the security definition:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component"
xmlns:pretty="http://ocpsoft.com/prettyfaces"
xmlns:sec="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags">
and when running the application, i got following error:
Warning: This page calls for XML namespace http://www.springframework.org/security/tags declared with prefix sec but no taglibrary exists for that namespace.
Ref: http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/petclinic-tutorial.html
please advise.

You will need to add springsecurity.taglib.xml first as mentioned here:
http://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/webflow/2.3.x/reference/html/spring-faces.html#spring-faces-security-taglib
and you should have the org.springframework.faces jar in your classpath in order to use it.
then use the security tags as follows:
<!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional/<!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:sec="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags">

Successfully implemented:
On top of your normal Spring Security dependencies you'll need the following two additional Maven dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.webflow</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-faces</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-taglibs</artifactId>
<version>3.2.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
in your POM file.
For JSF 2 save the following as /WEB-INF/springsecurity.taglib.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE facelet-taglib PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Facelet Taglib 1.0//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/facelet-taglib_1_0.dtd">
<facelet-taglib>
<namespace>http://www.springframework.org/security/tags</namespace>
<tag>
<tag-name>authorize</tag-name>
<handler-class>org.springframework.faces.security.FaceletsAuthorizeTagHandler</handler-class>
</tag>
<function>
<function-name>areAllGranted</function-name>
<function-class>org.springframework.faces.security.FaceletsAuthorizeTagUtils</function-class>
<function-signature>boolean areAllGranted(java.lang.String)</function-signature>
</function>
<function>
<function-name>areAnyGranted</function-name>
<function-class>org.springframework.faces.security.FaceletsAuthorizeTagUtils</function-class>
<function-signature>boolean areAnyGranted(java.lang.String)</function-signature>
</function>
<function>
<function-name>areNotGranted</function-name>
<function-class>org.springframework.faces.security.FaceletsAuthorizeTagUtils</function-class>
<function-signature>boolean areNotGranted(java.lang.String)</function-signature>
</function>
<function>
<function-name>isAllowed</function-name>
<function-class>org.springframework.faces.security.FaceletsAuthorizeTagUtils</function-class>
<function-signature>boolean isAllowed(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)</function-signature>
</function>
</facelet-taglib>
Register the above file in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.FACELETS_LIBRARIES</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/springsecurity.taglib.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
It will resolve no taglibrary exists warning and now you are ready to use the tag library in your views. You can use the authorize tag to include nested content conditionally:
<!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:sec="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags">
<sec:authorize ifAllGranted="ROLE_FOO, ROLE_BAR">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
</sec:authorize>
<sec:authorize ifNotGranted="ROLE_FOO, ROLE_BAR">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
</sec:authorize>
<sec:authorize ifAnyGranted="ROLE_FOO, ROLE_BAR">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
</sec:authorize>
</ui:composition>

It's not as easy with JSF as it is with Spring MVC...
But you can find a way to do it in this bug report
https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SWF-1333
