Spring Security with Grails to secure Grails controller
Let's apply Spring Security to Grails controller. The scenario is that the user will access the Grails application and will be provided with a link to log in. On successful authentication, the user will be provided with links which he can access. The links are visible only to the logged in user.
Getting ready
For demonstration purposes we will create the following:
- A simple Grails controller:
myfirstapp - A
MyFirstControllercontroller which will be secured with Spring Security - Modify
index.gsp

The following steps are taken for integrating Spring Security with Grails to secure Grails Controller:
