drop in Java framework/library providing registration wizard, email confirmation, password complexity

I have an existing Java servlet app as a war file developed by another team, which has very limited user registration capabilities and validations.

We have a security policy to require password complexity and email confirmation so I would like to add the required features to this existing app, but without making any code changes to their source code/war.

So I would like to add this functionality to the app by redirecting their registration page to my new registration page, (which I will do with apache mod_redirect)

Is there a very lightweight, Java library that provides registration wizard functionality that I can "drop in" to write its results to a MysQL database backend.

Ideally I just want to specify a list of required fields, and their database table/column mapping, and specify and SMTP server, and some templates etc and have it live next to my existing war deployment.

something like this;

http://www.mydomain.com/app1/register

"/register" redirects using apache to

http://www.mydomain.com/app2/register

and have some simple java app to handle the user registration, validation and email confirmation.

Take a look at Emmet. It supports most if not all of the things that you asked for:

  • password quality checking,
  • self-registration with email confirmation,
  • SQL backend
  • templates for emails

Also

  • RESTful web apis,
  • tailorable permissions and access control (for Emmet and your application),
  • administration pages and user account management pages implemented as JSPs,
  • user profiles,
  • various authentication schemes (user/password, OpenId, Shibboleth, hybrids)

Emmet is designed to be used as a stand-alone webapp, or to be integrated with another webapp using Maven WAR file overlays. It uses various Spring technologies, including SpringSecurity.
