java - REST API security - how to secure it instead of sessionid -


i got question security simple rest api application. implemented check security , on every attempt read/update data from/in database (this simple httpsession session= request.getsession(true); , check - if new session or old , if equals session id fro cookies).

but thing - if valid user , valid session - got url make user ignore other user:

http://localhost:8080/chatrest/rest/friendservice/ignorefriend/1/2

i change 2 users id (last 2 numbers) , send same request make other system user ignore else, example: http://localhost:8080/chatrest/rest/friendservice/ignorefriend/3/4

how can solve problem? googled lot (for example - restful authentication , related articles, including security questions). easiest way solve problem? quite beginner, i'll happy find simpliest solutions.

thank you!

any authentication mechanism allows handle this, provided users don't share same credentials. basic auth, you'll able determine authenticated.

if logged in user id=1, can perform http://localhost:8080/chatrest/rest/friendservice/ignorefriend/1/2, can't ignore people other id. in fact, since user id database, don't need first parameter. ignorefriend/2, meaning "i want ignore person id i'm giving parameter".

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)
