Introduction


In this chapter, we will make a Spring web application access Facebook and Twitter accounts in order to:

  • Retrieve user data, such as name, e-mail, tweets, posts, and so on

  • Create user data, such as a tweet, Facebook post, and so on

For that, we will use Spring Social, which simplifies interacting with social networks from a Spring web application; it helps with the OAuth workflows and executes the proper REST requests behind the scenes for us.
