Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I can not begin to tell you how much time I have wasted with this book. If you already know spring security this is a good book, but then again you already know spring security so why bother!
Each chapter contains several different example that attempt to demonstrate how to do handle some aspect of security. Unfortantly the listing in the book for each example are incomplete. Its really hard to figure out how all the "knitting" is done! The source code is really bad. All the examples for each chapter are mashed together across many different files. Some how you are supposed to read all the comments to figure out which piece of code go with which examples. The indirection is madding. Its very hard to figure out which pieces go where.
I think you would be better off using the spring security tutorial, forums and google.
Hopeful someone will write an easy to use "cookbook" with complete recipes that are described in a linear manner.
I think what few reviews have been written so far where done as a favor to the author
