Question

Is is possible use Spring Social to authentication via Facebook ? Suppose I have a web application and want to log in there using your Facebook account. Can someone show me an example of how to do it ? Thanks for any help

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. You need to use Spring Social Facebook connector. You can checkout, build and play with showcase app:

1. showcase app that use java config
2. or the same showcase if you prefer XML config. This version use new social namespace tags from 1.1.0.M1. They will be not available if you want use 1.0.2.RELEASE. It will be easy to fix (check out some older version of the app or just compare the source with 1.0.2 documentation, there are some minor differences)
