Formerly the Acegi Security System for Spring, Spring Security provides powerful and
flexible security solutions for enterprise applications developed using the Spring Framework.
It is a stable and mature product - Acegi Security 1.0.0 was released in May 2006 after more than two and a half
years of use in large production software projects.
years of use in large production software projects and adopted as an official Spring sub-project on its release.
Spring Security 2.0.0 builds on Acegi Security's solid foundations, adding many new features:
* Simplified namespace-based configuration syntax. Old configurations
could require hundreds of lines of XML but our new convention over configuration
approach ensures that many deployments will now require less than 10 lines.
* OpenID integration, which is the web's emerging single sign on
standard (supported by Google, IBM, Sun, Yahoo and others)
* Windows NTLM support, providing easy enterprise-wide single sign on
against Windows corporate networks
* Support for JSR 250 ("EJB 3") security annotations, delivering a
standards-based model for authorization metadata
* AspectJ pointcut expression language support, allowing developers to
apply cross-cutting security logic across their Spring managed objects
* Substantial improvements to the high-performance domain object
instance security ("ACL") capabilities
* Comprehensive support for RESTful web request authorization, which
works well with Spring 2.5's @MVC model for building RESTful systems
* Long-requested support for groups, hierarchical roles and a user
management API, which all combine to reduce development time and
significantly improve system administration
* An improved, database-backed "remember me" implementation
* Support for portlet authentication out-of-the-box
* Support for additional languages
* Numerous other general improvements, documentation and new samples
* New support for web state and flow transition authorization through
the Spring Web Flow 2.0 release
* New support for visualizing secured methods, plus configuration
auto-completion support in Spring IDE
* Enhanced WSS (formerly WS-Security) support through the Spring Web
Services 1.5 release
* Updated support for CAS single sign-on (CAS 3 is now supported).
