Update! - Based on the post below, and my other post regarding Spring Security and OpenID, I have added Open-ID support to the sample application below. For those interested, here's the write-up of changes. I've spent quite some time digging into ways of integrating GWT and Spring Security. It all started by reading the following post in the GWT Forum - Best practices/ideas for GWT with Spring Security (or equivalent) , and then checking out this blog - GWT and Spring Security . To make matters worse, I started reading Security for GWT Applications and specifically about the "Cross-Site Request Forging"-attacks. Now, what could I do about it? Well, starting by setting up my own project (Maven-based) with all updated dependencies (GWT 2.0.3 etc) and started reading the Spring Security Reference Documentation (puh!).

Technowobble is my place to post interesting stuff related to technology in general.

Another thing catching my tech-attention right now is Spring Roo - I wonder what will be? Happy reading!
