how to use this ?

Mon, 03/10/2008 - 12:23pm — ajayji

Hi,

how do I use this ?
I do not see any samples, no guidelines. What i have downloaded is merely a jar file with all the classes and no begin point. How do i incorporate this with my login page as well as user repository source?

I must be crazy not to find it on this site.

Please guide me.

Thanks
Ajay

jsecurity-quickstart.war is missing

Just downloaded jsecurity-0.9.0-alpha-with-dependencies.zip and it does not contain jsecurity-quickstart.war file.

I do so want jsecurity to be the answer to my security prayers so I'm very disappointed to be tripped up during that crucial first 10 minutes (see http://www.jsecurity.org/docs/quickstart).

Oops, sorry about that

Oops, sorry about that Geoff!

Just before the release, it was decided not to include that war into the -with-dependencies.zip file to reduce its size. Because the .war file uses a lot of the dependencies, and they are in turn zipped inside it, to have the -with-dependencies.zip file include the .war file would have added another 60% to the size of the zip file - not really nice for something that can be 1) built yourself by cd'ing into the exploded zip directory and running 'ant samples.quickstart' or 2) downloaded separately from sourceforge.

So, the QuickStart has been updated appropriately. Thanks so much for pointing this out!

Cheers,

Les

P.S. Any questions you have while looking it over, please feel free to ask on the forums or our user mailing list - we're happy to oblige!

Hi Ajay, We're in the

Hi Ajay,

We're in the process of making our next release (hopefully tonight or tomorrow at the latest). When that is released, you should revisit the downloads page.

That will show you a SourceForge.net download URL. You want to download the jsecurity-with-dependencies zip file (not just the jar). In that zip file you will see a jsecurity-quickstart.war file. Drop that into Tomcat and look at its web.xml to show you how simple web configuration works (note that JSecurity does not require a web environment and is just as powerful standalone, but most people deploy it in web applications, so that makes sense for a good 'quickstart').

Until 1.0, the API is the only public documentation we have at the moment :( We want to come out with a QuickStart tutorial and a DocBook manual between 0.9 and 1.0, but that will take some time.

Regards,

Les
