Vaadin 7.1 + Spring-Security Integration running in Tomcat Server
Vaadin 7 easy integrate with Spring Security. You should configure only 2 files. First - web.xml and second one spring-security.xml (user credentials and security settings). This is small example how to use base form for authentification.
web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0"><display-name>Vaadin7SpringSecurity</display-name><context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/spring/spring-security.xml </param-value></context-param><listener> <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class></listener><!-- filter declaration for Spring Security --><filter> <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name> <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class></filter><filter-mapping> <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern></filter-mapping></web-app>spring-security.xml

You should have a look on this GitHub project. This is a Vaadin 7.1 + Spring 3.1.2.RELEASE + Spring-Vaadin integration 2.0.1 project. There is also a Jetty plugin inside, but you can run/deploy it also in tomcat without problems.
