Programmers can integrate the APIs exposed by Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers such as Facebook and Twitter into their own Java applications.
Here are some key features of "Spring Social":
· An extensible service provider framework that greatly simplifies the process of connecting local user accounts to hosted provider accounts.
· A connect controller that handles the authorization flow between your Java/Spring web application, a service provider, and your users.
· Java bindings to popular service provider APIs such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, TripIt, GitHub, and Gowalla.
· Sign-in controllers that enable users to authenticate with your application by signing using Facebook or Twitter.
