Introduction
There are many applications developed in Apache Faces/JSF. It's not an action oriented framework like Struts 2, but purely meant for the view layer. To implement Spring Security with JSF, we need to figure out some work around. Let's see some recipes with respect to JSF and Spring Security.
I have used the latest stable version of Spring Security and Spring-core. If you want to do an update with your libraries, you can read the following section. For Maven users, it's all about updating the dependencies and for the normal Eclipse users, it's about adding the .jar files to the lib folder.
