Grails Spring Security Core Plugin Vs. Grails Spring Security REST plugin

Question

The grails application, Which I am developing will provide the REST API's for the mobile application as well as it has it's own existence as a web application. I have never used any of the Plugin mentioned above. Can any one help me understand, which plugin will be more useful or in which scenario which plugin should be used?

Answer 1

You can not use Spring Security Rest without Spring Security Core. SSC gives you the securation of the application, and Spring Security Rest gives you the ability of securizing your rest requests throw the Spring Security Core to your application.
