SignPost or Twitter4j for Sign-in with Twitter (OAuth)?

Question

I read a lot about signpost, and then went back to Twitter4J with which I have created my twitter applications when OAuth wasn't necessary.

I am now confused whether I should use signpost or Twitter4J's method of OAuth authentication.

I have read that Twitter4J itself uses signpost for OAuth, still am not sure about the choice that I should make.

Kindly assist.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

I was looking for an answer to this question because:

• If I use SignPost, I can get the "Sign-in with Twitter" working
• If I had used Twitter4J, then I had to ask the user for his uid/pass

Although I wanted to use Twitter4J only.

Anyhow, I devised a way between these two and used Twitter4J to achieve "Sign-in with Twitter".
