I believe I used your blog as a starting point for my work. Thanks for helping me figure out how to accomplish the spring security hooks for my app.

I have taken it a step further with the integration leveraging some of the new hooks from Spring’s Spring-BlazDS / Spring-security and explained my integration points in two blog posts:

Hi guys,

Firstly I am very new to spring framework but have some idea about flex.In my project there are roles which are dynamic(i.e new roles can be added from a user interface and permissions to specific methods can be granted from there only).The below code to restrict methods to role is hardcoded in the xml files how do I dynamically fetch this from the database using spring instead of the xml files.

Can some one help me out please.

Thanks…

Hi Jettro,
I try a example after read you article. However, I encounter a problem:
the HttpService can’t get any response, neither result function nor fault function is called. The j_spring_security_check functions normally.
If I use the default form-login of spring security. Every thing is ok.

I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong? Did you ever encounter this problem?

Hi Iure,
thank you for your comment. If I am understanding your problem well, it could be due to the anonymous user that is logged in, or the fact that spring returns a message instead of an error when the user cannot log in. That is one of the problems with this approach. Therefore I think you should have a look at other ways of doing this. In the following blogpost I took a different approach using the excellent flex framework Mate. But the ideas can be reused in other solutions as well.

Hope that helps

Hi Jettro,

Even when my authentication fails I’m getting a resultHandler event instead of a faultHandler… The spring security authenticates correctly since I got an error message on my app console.

By the way, thank you for this excelent article

See to setup service security so that normal exception are transmitted on Flex client side(instead of HTTP codes like 403 or 500) – http://dima-vp.livejournal.com/573.html.
