Getting ready

For this recipe, we need to create a simple web application in the same way we did for client-implicit. As we will develop an application which interacts with Facebook at the server side, we are supposed to write a lot of code. But instead of writing too much code, let's use the Spring Social Facebook project.

There is an important step to perform, similar to what we did for client-implicit; as the application is a Facebook client we need to register a new application.
