First I discovered that there was an open source, Java based, Facebook Application which includes samples of the following:
- Activity Feed
- Like Button
- Recommendations
- Comments
- Facepile
- Live Stream
- Graph API
- OAuth v2

It is located at: http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-webapp
So I followed the instructions, and checked it out with SVN into a local directory:
svn checkout http://facebook-java-webapp.googlecode.com/svn/springwebmvc-hibernate/trunk/ facebook-java-webapp-read-only
Then I edited the property file as described, to point to the local mysql database I setup with a user “facebook” and a database “facebook”.
emacs src/main/resources/facebook.properties
Then I followd the instructions for setting up the database:
http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-webapp/#Create_Database
mvn -Pdb clean
I then setup the project:
mvn -Phibernate process-resources
And finally ran it:
mvn tomcat:run
