Question

I am using Spring Security in one of my project. The web-app requires the user to login. Hence I have added few usernames and passwords in the spring-security-context.xml fi

Answer 1

This works for me for Spring security authentication and authorization using Properties file:

    

    
        
        
        
            
                classpath:abc.properties
            
        
    

    

    
        
        

         
    
    
    

    
        
             
        
        
        
     

The abc.properties file:

stat.user=xyz
stat.pwd=xyz

The web.xml entry for spring-security implementation:

    springSecurityFilterChain
    org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy
    



    springSecurityFilterChain
