Spring Security Configuration with Scala

Code to accompany this blog article.

Provides a scala-based alternative to the usual Spring Security namespace with similar syntax, but which is compatible with Spring's @Configuration features. It is no more complicated than namespace syntax, but is more powerful and intuitive as it directly exposes the actual classes which are usually hidden. By using higher-order functions, it makes it easy to plug in new behaviour for features such as access-control (interceptUrl), which can be implemented as Scala functions.
