Overview of this book

Knowing that experienced hackers are itching to test your skills makes security one of the most difficult and high-pressured concerns of creating an application. The complexity of properly securing an application is compounded when you must also integrate this factor with existing code, new technologies, and other frameworks. Use this book to easily secure your Java application with the tried and trusted Spring Security framework, a powerful and highly customizable authentication and access-control framework. The book starts by integrating a variety of authentication mechanisms. It then demonstrates how to properly restrict access to your application. It also covers tips on integrating with some of the more popular web frameworks. An example of how Spring Security defends against session fixation, moves into concurrency control, and how you can utilize session management for administrative functions is also included. It concludes with advanced security scenarios for RESTful webservices and microservices, detailing the issues surrounding stateless authentication, and demonstrates a concise, step-by-step approach to solving those issues. And, by the end of the book, readers can rest assured that integrating version 4.2 of Spring Security will be a seamless endeavor from start to finish.

A little bit of polish

Stop at this point and think about what we've just built. You may have noticed some obvious issues that will require some additional work and knowledge of the Spring Security product before our application is production-ready. Try to make a list of the changes that you think are required before this security implementation is ready to roll out on the public-facing website.

Applying the Hello World Spring Security implementation was blindingly fast and has provided us with a login page, username, and password-based authentication, as well as the automatic interception of URLs in our calendar application. However, there are gaps between what the automatic configuration setup provides and what our end goal is, which are listed as follows:

  • While the login page is helpful, it's completely generic and doesn't look like the rest of our JBCP calendar...
