What is the UsersConnectionRepository for in Spring Social Facebook?

Question

I'm following the directions here and elsewhere: https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-social/wiki/Quick-Start

Why do we need to specify a dataSource and UsersConnectionRepository to use Spring Social Facebook? What gets written to our database? Am I supposed to create special tables or modify my Users table?

Answer 1

Yep from the docs ~ For convenience is bootstrapping the schema from a running application, this schema definition is available in the spring-social-core module as a resource at the path /org/springframework/social/connect/jdbc/JdbcUsersConnectionRepository.sql.

From here http://static.springsource.org/spring-social/docs/1.0.x/reference/html/serviceprovider.html
