Creating a spring project using maven appfuse-basic-spring archetype

In my previous post about using spring security using a users database, I used a sample project which you get when downloading the spring security library. In this post, I will be setting up a spring project using maven appfuse-basic-spring archetype from scratch.

Spring security using a users database

I’ve started reading about spring, I know the general idea of how it works so I thought I should learn about spring security first. I’ve been reading the “spring security tutorial", which is pretty much straight forward, and there was an exercise of using a users database to authenticate the user. In this post I will be creating the users database and hooking it with spring security.
