Flex, Grails Security over HTTP - How to example?

I'm writing an application, Flex front-end & Grails back-end, in which I need to integrate security. All 开发者_运维问答the information around Grails gives me the impression to be well suited for when your client is written in HTML but how can I use Flex's HTTPService to integrate into it? Could anybody point me into the right direction?

Regards, Lars

Hi Lars I'd suggest having a read of Mike Hugo's article on writing Grails plug-ins in Groovymag http://www.groovymag.com/main.issues.description/id=6/ This will give you an insight as to how to gain access to the application context etc. Also have a look out for Sebastien Arbogast's blog and this article: http://www.pubbs.net/201002/grails/49092-grails-user-grails-flex-blazeds-and-spring-security-integration.html

Combine this with some articles like this: http://www.gridshore.nl/2008/07/14/integration-spring-security-acegi-and-flex-3-the-sequel/

Also have a look at the Spring-Flex project. http://www.springsource.org/spring-flex Christophe Coenraets and Jeremy Grelle's blogs are worth taking a look at too.

This is probably what I'd look at first: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/max-2009-develop/integrating-spring-with-blazeds-and-livecycle-data-services/

There are many options for returning XML from a Grails Controller, which can then be consumed by Flex's HTTPService.
For security, check out the Spring Security Core Plugin.
