Spring Security with Vaadin – basic authentication
Our aim is to do a simple basic authentication on the Vaadin application. I want a login dialog to pop up when we access the URL of the Vaadin application. I have created a simple product catalog application which looks very similar to the address book.
Getting ready
Set up Vaadin application on Eclipse:
