This sample app demonstrates how to use Spring Social within a Facebook Canvas application.
Before you can run the application, you'll need to obtain application credentials from Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn by registering the application with each of the service providers:
- Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
- Twitter: https://apps.twitter.com/
- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer
Be sure to read each platform's usage policies carefully and understand how they impact your use of Spring Social with those platforms.
IMPORTANT: Note that the steps for running the sample differ slightly from the other Spring Social samples:
- Build the application using Gradle:
$ gradlew build- Deploy and start the application on a Servlet 2.5 or > container such as Tomcat 6 or 7 and ensure that HTTPS support is enabled. For convenience, you should be able to run the application using Maven with
mvn tomcat:run. - Navigate to http://apps.facebook.com/springsocialcanvas in your browser. This is the canvas page configured in Facebook for the Spring Social Canvas sample.
The pertinent details of the application's Facebook configuration is as follows:
- Display Name: Spring Social Canvas
- Namespace: springsocialcanvas
- Canvas Page: http://apps.facebook.com/springsocialcanvas
- Canvas URL: http://localhost:8080/spring-social-canvas/canvas/
- Secure Canvas URL: https://localhost:8443/spring-social-canvas/canvas/
