[SOLVED] Is there a way to add a third party servlet in a grails application?

Is there a way to add a third party servlet in a grails application?

I'm new to grails and wondering whether there is a way to add a third party servlet in a grails application?

I'm trying to use Waffle with grails. I was successfully able to use Waffle in an MVC app using spring security as described here: https://github.com/dblock/waffle/blob/master/Docs/spring/SpringSecurityAuthenticationProvider.md

In my MVC app I was able to add beans like this for authentication:

<bean id="waffleNegotiateSecurityFilter" class="waffle.spring.NegotiateSecurityFilter">
    <property name="provider" ref="waffleSecurityFilterProviderCollection"/>
    <property name="allowGuestLogin" value="false"/>
    <property name="principalFormat" value="fqn"/>
    <property name="roleFormat" value="both"/>
</bean>

Solution

You have to add filters mapping to web.xml

install web.xml using grails command

> grails install-templates

Than edit web.xml file (inside src/templates )

and add the mapping as stated by the documentation you showed us.

Then add beans definition to grails resources

/conf/spring/resources.groogy

Translating xml bean definition to grails spring groovy DSL can be a little difficult. If you have any problem refear to the guide about grails and spring or ask here.
