i want to use The Spring Security Facelets tag library to secure my UI

  • 0

i want to use The Spring Security Facelets tag library to secure my UI components
in my JSF 2 pages

i have following dependencies for spring security version 3.0.5:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-core</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-security.version}</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-web</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-security.version}</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-config</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-security.version}</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-taglibs</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-security.version}</version>
        </dependency>

i configured applicationSecurity.xml to make spring security login, and it works fine
with UserDetailsService, and when tried to add the security definition:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
    xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component"
    xmlns:pretty="http://ocpsoft.com/prettyfaces" 
    xmlns:sec="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags">

and when running the application, i got following error:

Warning: This page calls for XML namespace http://www.springframework.org/security/tags declared with prefix sec but no taglibrary exists for that namespace.

Ref: http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/petclinic-tutorial.html

please advise.

    You will need to add springsecurity.taglib.xml first
    as mentioned here:

    http://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/webflow/2.3.x/reference/html/spring-faces.html#spring-faces-security-taglib

    and you should have the org.springframework.faces jar in your classpath in order to use it.

    then use the security tags as follows:

    <!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional/<!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
    xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
    xmlns:sec="http://www.springframework.org/security/tags">
