Spring MVC Security and Spring JDBC Tutorial (XML Config)

  1. Introduction
  2. Demo
  3. Preparing the database
  4. Create Project
  5. Configuring web.xml and Maven
  6. Configure Spring MVC & Security
  7. Spring MVC Controller
  8. JSP Pages
  9. Configure and run the application
  10. Spring MVC Shopping Cart Application

1. Introduction

The document is based on:
  • Eclipse 4.6 (NEON)
  • Spring MVC 4.x
  • Spring Security 4.x
  • Spring JDBC 4.x
  • (XML Config)
Before starting this tutorial, you should view documents:
Spring MVC for Beginners:
Spring JDBC Tutorial
Here I instruct you to create a web login application using Spring MVC +Spring Security + Spring JDBC. Use XML for the configuration. You can reference another similar document using Annotation configuration at

  • ORACLE:
-- Create table
create table USERS
(
  USERNAME VARCHAR2(36) not null,
  PASSWORD VARCHAR2(36) not null,
  ENABLED  NUMBER(1) not null
) ;

alter table USERS
  add constraint USER_PK primary key (USERNAME);

---------------------

-- Create table
create table USER_ROLES
(
  ROLE_ID   VARCHAR2(50) not null,
  USERNAME  VARCHAR2(36) not null,
  USER_ROLE VARCHAR2(30) not null
) ;
 
alter table USER_ROLES
  add constraint USER_ROLE_PK primary key (ROLE_ID);

alter table USER_ROLES
  add constraint USER_ROLE_UK unique (USERNAME, USER_ROLE);
 
-------------------------------
 
insert into users (USERNAME, PASSWORD, ENABLED)
values ('dbuser1', '12345', 1);

insert into users (USERNAME, PASSWORD, ENABLED)
values ('dbadmin1', '12345', 1);  


insert into User_Roles (ROLE_ID, USERNAME, USER_ROLE)

insert into User_Roles (ROLE_ID, USERNAME, USER_ROLE)

insert into User_Roles (ROLE_ID, USERNAME, USER_ROLE)

4. Create Project

  • File/New/Other...
Enter:
  • Group ID: org.o7planning
  • Artifact ID: SpringMVCSecurityXML
  • Package: org.o7planning.tutorial.springmvcsecurity
Project was created:
Do not worry about the error message when the Project has been created. The reason is that you do not declare the Servlet library.
Eclipse 4.5 (MARS) create Maven project structure may be wrong. You need to fix it.
Delete file index.jsp.
Sử dụng Java 7 hoặc 8:
