Spring Social with JavaConfig (Part 1)

In this tutorial, we will create an application that can post messages and retrieve profile information from Facebook and Twitter. We will use Spring Social to implement these features. To secure our application we will use Spring Security, and to manage our views, we will use Thymeleaf.

  8. Running the application
    • Clone from GitHub
    • Create the Database
    • Run with Maven and Tomcat 7
    • Run with Maven and Jetty 8
    • Import to Eclipse
    • Validate with W3C

Dependencies

These are the main Maven dependencies:
  • Spring 3.2.0.RELEASE
  • Spring Data JPA 1.2.0.RELEASE
  • Spring Security 3.1.3.RELEASE
  • Thymeleaf 2.0.14
  • Hibernate 3.6.3.Final
  • See pom.xml for full details

Required Tools

These are the minimum required tools:
  • Git
  • Maven 3.0.4
  • MySQL
  • Eclipse IDE or SpringSource Tool Suite (STS)

GitHub Repository

There are two versions of the application: a JavaConfig-based and an XML config-based app. Both versions are identical in their feature set.

Functional Specs

Our application's requirements are the following:
  • Post to Facebook and Twitter
  • Retrieve profile information from Facebook and Twitter
  • Secure the application
  • Allow login and creation of new users
  • Create a page for managing users

Here's our Use Case diagrams:


[User]-(Post to Facebook)
[User]-(Post to Twitter)
[User]-(Retrieve info from Facebook)
[User]-(Retrieve info from Twitter)
[User]-(Sign in)
[User]-(Sign up)

//http://yuml.me/




[Admin]-(Edit users)
[Admin]-(Delete users)
[Admin]-(Add users)

//http://yuml.me/

Screenshots

  5. Thanks for all your tutorial. It really helped me love Spring.

    Do you have any Spring Security + Struts Integration Tutorial? Or do you know a good source. I kinda in confusion with that matter.

  6. Thanks for your detailed explanation! I wanted to try out your app, but was stopped by this error:

    (default-war) on project spring-social-tutorial: Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode)

    when doing 'mvn clean install -e' I understand that the WebAppInitialzer replaces web.xml so not sure why this error is showing up. Any sugestions?

    1. No worries. I set failOnMissingWebXml to false in your pom and now it works.

    1. Edward, thanks for the comment. You know I'm really thinking of writing a book, but I think I can approach more people if I write on the web, and the content will be open to comments and suggestions. I was approached once to lead a book on Spring-related cookbook but I have to turned it down because of time constraints. I just got a new work here in Chicago :-)

  8. No problem Mark ... I find it quite awesome of you to write these ... I'd move cross country to get a good gig developing in Spring. I've worked with a lot of different web-frameworks and Spring is my favorite thus far. I like nearly every aspect about it (shameless pun) ...

    Thanks again Mark look forward to more when you get time ...

    ;-)

  9. Another great tutorial! I am just wondering whether the project can be built with Java 7 or not.

    ReplyDelete

  10. It is always fun reading your blog. Keep up with good work

    ReplyDelete

  11. After cloning the Java configuration version, I can't make a build. The following is an error message:

    [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.3:war (default-war) on project spring-social-tutorial: Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) -> [Help 1]

    I add the maven-war-plugin part into the pom file due to a build error. The problem is due to missing web.xml file, which is the nature of the version. How to let this error go away?

  12. I will try to study this. This is useful for projects that are open for public. As most people have already social accounts

  29. Spring Social is essential for integrating Java (Java EE Training) with social media like facebook, twitter etc. To secure our application we will use Spring Security (Java Training Institutes in Chennai) , and to manage our views, we will use Thymeleaf (Java Training in Chennai)

  46. Hey Dinesh, amazing tutorial!
    However I would strongly suggest to update it to Spring 4 as Spring 3 is obsolete now.
