Using Java Domain Objects With Spring Security Plugin

Question

I'm working with a legacy database and corresponding Java Domain Classes. I'm trying to add Spring Security to the app and I'd like to use Java Domain Classes for that too, just to be consistent and keep everything together. Grails has no problem using both POGOs and POJOs, btw.

So, starting with a new, empty database and a new empty grails app, I added the Spring Security Plugin (acegi 0.5.1). Then I did:

grails create-auth-domains org.maflt.ibidem.pojo.Person org.maflt.ibidem.pojo.Authority org.maflt.ibidem.pojo.Requestmap

That worked perfectly. My tables where created, etc. Then I created POJO domain classes and deleted the POGO classes. Everything then compiled fine, but when the app started up I got this error:

UPDATE

It looks like the problem is related to the AuthorityPeople. I added a segregatey id key, made it the primary key and changed the object to:

@Entity
@Table(name = "authority_people", catalog = "test")
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class AuthorityPeople implements Serializable {

    /**
     * Attribute authority
     */
     private Authority authority; 

    /**
     * Attribute person
     */
     private Person person; 

    /**
     * Attribute id.
     */
    private Long id;


    /**
     * get authority
     */
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "authority_id")
    public Authority getAuthority() {
     return this.authority;
    }

    /**
     * set authority
     */
    public void setAuthority(Authority authority) {
     this.authority = authority;
    }

    /**
     * get person
     */
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "person_id")
    public Person getPerson() {
     return this.person;
    }

    /**

     */
    public void setPerson(Person person) {
     this.person = person;
    }

    /**
     * <p>

    @Basic
    @Id
    @Column(name = "id")
     public Long getId() {
     return id;
    }

    /**
     * @param id new value for id 
     */
    public void setId(Long id) {
     this.id = id;
    }



}

and now I'm getting this error:

Answer 1

Caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException: mappedBy reference an unknown target entity property: org.maflt.ibidem.pojo.AuthorityPeople.person in org.maflt.ibidem.pojo.Person.authorityPeoples

Sounds like a Hibernate problem, not Spring Security or your POJO or grails. You this in your Person class:

@OneToMany(mappedBy="person")
public List<AuthorityPeople> getAuthorityPeoples() {
   return this.authorityPeoples;
}

Is your annotation referring to something incorrect?

Answer 2

I haven't gotten this to work and and until just now, haven't seen any evidence that anyone else has either. So I resorted to moving to grails objects. But I just found this solution. I haven't tried it yet. I'll post my results once I do.

BTW - I'd still like help with my implementation above, if anyone wants take another look at it.
