This is a customized contact sample which originates from the Spring Security project. This sample works on a MongoDB based ACL implementation which, in contrast to the original example, does persist and lookup ACL data from a single collection rather than 4 different tables as in the original ACL implementation.

Modifications on the original code where mainly on the introduction of an own applicationContext-common-mongodb.xml Spring configuration file and tweaking the applicationContext-common-business.xml configuration to inject the AclRepository into the modified DataSourcePopulator as ACL tables no longer are needed as this data will be persisted to a local running MongoDB.

In order to run the sample, make sure you have check out spring-security-acl-mongodb and installed its artifacts to your local Maven .m2/repository repository. Make sure a Gradle 3.5, MySQL 5.1.6+ and MongoDB 3.x are available on your system and both MySQL and MongoDB are up and running. MySQL should listen on port 3306 while MongoDB on port 27017.

Afterwards change to the samples/xml/contacts directory and enter gradle tomcatRun into your terminal. Soon an output similar to

Started Tomcat Server
The Server is running at http://localhost:8080/sample

should be visible in your terminal. Now hit this URL in your browser and start playing around with the sample. After starting up the application, your MongoDB should contain an ACL collection with a couple of entries. The business logic relevant data should still be present in the MySQL database.
