Introduction

Spring Security is a security layer that comes with Spring framework. Spring framework is an active open source project which has made further development of the application easier. It provides various layers to handle different scenarios and challenges that we face during the design and implementation life cycle of the project.

The Spring Security layer of Spring framework is very loosely coupled with the Spring framework, hence it can be easily integrated with other applications.

In this book we will be integrating Spring Security with other frameworks and we will also demonstrate it with coded examples.
