30. Securing Web ApplicationsWeb applications contain resources that can be accessed by many users. These resources often traverse unprotected, open networks, such as the Internet. In such an environment, a substantial number of web applications will require some type of security. The ways to implement security for Java EE applications are discussed in a general way in Securing Containers (page 910). This chapter provides more detail and a few examples that explore these security services as they relate to web components. Java EE security services can be implemented for web applications in the following ways:
Some of the material in this chapter assumes that you have already read Chapter 28. This chapter also assumes that you are familiar with the web technologies discussed in Chapters 2, 4, and 9. |
