I am building my first Spring MVC application on Tomcat 6. Some pages will be viewable by all, and other pages will be restricted to registered users. I am looking for tips on how to better configure application security to support this. Based on ASP.NET, which provides Login Controls that provide login / login / password recovery components / et , I wonder Spring MVC has equivalent functionality. Since this is common functionality, I hope there are some reusable components that I can use so that I don't have to write all this from scratch.
This is basically a small toy app, so I don't need super-duper protection. I am looking for components that will simplify the authentication / authorization of web users (or how to use the built-in features of Tomcat). I am new to Java web development, so any suggestions on how to quickly create this functionality will be appreciated.
Thank.
