Hey John,
Most users building webapps with JSecurity use the JSecurityFilter,
which is easier than declaring the security manager yourself. Check
out web.xml in the quickstart app included in the sample app for an
example.
If you are using Spring, you will want to declare the
SpringJSecurityFilter. Using this filter, if you want to use the
default security manager, you can simply declare a Realm in spring and
the filter will automatically use it. If you want to configure the
security manager manually, you can just drop the security manager in
your Spring application context, and the SpringJSecurityFilter will
automatically pick that up.
If you want to use the default JSecurityFilter without spring, you can
specify a custom realm by adding a [main] section to your JSecurity
config (either specified in web.xml or in jsecurity.ini) such as:
myRealm = com.mydomain.MyRealm
Hope this helps you get started. Let me know if you run into any
problems!

Hi all,
I am new to JSec. I was messing with Spring Security before
deciding to try JS. Here is where I am stuck. I have created a
simple web app using the jsp pages from the web sample in the JS
distribution. I have successfully configured JS to use either Basic
Auth or Form Auth filters. I read that to use my own realm, I could
set my own realm in the default security manager (which is the only
implemented security manager and which is created by default). So i
did something like this:
MyRealm myRealm = new MyRealm();
DefaultWebSecurityManager dsm = new
DefaultWebSecurityManager(myRealm);
SecurityUtils.setSecurityManager(dsm);
MyRealm implements Realm, I have also tired extending one of the
other realms. I have even tried creating a default security manager
and setting the realm.
None of my efforts have been successful so far. So what exactly am
I doing wrong or missing?
I have been able to get the login page and my servlet to handle the
login form to invoke. In my servlet i tried to do all of this and
login (this is just testing stuff).
Please help.
Thanks.
