Creating your first grails app with Spring Security?

[edwardotis]

Great guide and example code!
As Authentication and Authorization are core components of most real world apps, I think it would be very helpful to the community to fork this guide with a more advanced version that adds Spring Security and/or Spring Security UI to this project.

For example, this github issue has the key hack required to get spring-security, hibernate4 and grails3.x working together.
grails-plugins/grails-cache-ehcache#26

Now I see that beckwith has created an example that uses the hack. The example project is not linked in the spring-security documentation as far as I can tell.
https://github.com/grails-plugins/grails-spring-security-core/tree/master/secured

And the ehcache hack is listed as a footnote in Chapter 12.3.1 of the official instructions, but I only found that because I now know to search for the ehcache exclude.

So, not a good experience for new grails users.
