Can anyone offer support?

[Greg Soulsby]

Would someone be able to offer me paid support for implementing this in an example app?

I have a Spring application using Spring Security and Webflow. It seems Spring Social and Webflow are incompatibly at the moment. So I am looking at using Janrain rather than Spring Social.

Janrain4j looks like a good option for that.

Would someone be interested in setting up a worked example of Janrain4j within a test version of my Spring Webflow / Security app? Not sure what that would cost but happy to discuss options.

Thanks

Hi Greg,

I'm the author of the janrain4j library.
Since the release of 1.1.0 (November 2010) I haven't toched the
codebase anymore, as I did not use the Janrain after all (to expensive
for our case after all).
Anyway I think the library is of high quality and covered the full API
at that moment. The project also contains really good unit coverage
and quite some examples.

For your case you want to integrate it with Spring Security and there
is already an example available for that! You can check
http://code.google.com/p/janrain4j/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fsamples%2Fspringsecurity-basic
Note that also the demo application (http://janrain4j.appspot.com/)
uses Spring Security and can the code can be found at
http://code.google.com/p/janrain4j/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fsamples%2Fdemo
The demo application needs some time to spin up (it's hosted on Google
App Engine) but I just tried it and it still works perfectly.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

Cheers,
Marcel

Thanks Marcel.

Do you have any thoughts about compatibility with Spring Webflow?

I am told, but dont have the skills to confirm for myself, that Spring
Webflow and Spring Security are incompatible.

Hence am looking at Janrain and your wrapper, as an alternative.

But if Spring Webflow and Spring Security are incompatible, maybe
Spring Webflow and Janrain are incompatible?

Hi Greg,

I have never used Spring Webflow so far so I don't know about
incompatibilities.

I can imagine that Spring Security 3.x is not compatible with Spring
Webflow (I googled and saw someone mentioning this because of
refactorings in Spring Security 3.x).
But I cannot imagine Webflow 2.x is not compatible with Spring
Security 2.x.

Janrain is agnostic of any framework used. It's just a api you use. So
you should be able to use in with Webflow.
With Janrain you render the login widget on your site, while
submitting the form goes outside your side and eventually redirects
back to your site.
So if you are able to render the widget, and accept a request you are
fine.

That makes sense, very helpful, thanks.

Will try that and see how we go.

Thanks again.
