votes

I am quite new to Grails and the plugin usage. right now I am trying to build restful services using grails. I need some kind of authentication for user so for that I am using spring-security-facebook plugin for grails. It works very well for all my web pages. but I need to perform <facebookAuth:connect /> operation for an Android application. Is it possible to call spring security facebook plugin's user creation or authentication methods using some kind of restful web service? As right now I am using webview in android app to put the login page in it but it does not give native app feeling.

Any pointers will be useful.

There are special type of authentication for this: JSON Authentication

In short: you should post Facebook access_token, plugin will authentication FB user (create if nedeed) and respond with JSON containing user details.
