Java 2 security

Java™ 2 security provides a policy-based, fine-grained access control mechanism that increases overall system integrity by checking for permissions before allowing access to certain protected system resources. Java 2 security guards access to system resources such as file I/O, sockets, and properties. Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) security guards access to Web resources such as servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, and Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) methods.

WebSphere® ESB security includes the following technologies:

Because Java 2 security is relatively new, many existing or even new applications might not be prepared for the very fine-grained access control programming model that Java 2 security is capable of enforcing. Administrators need to understand the possible consequences of enabling Java 2 security if applications are not prepared for Java 2 security. Java 2 security places some new requirements on application developers and administrators.

Attention: Fix packs that include updates to the Software Development Kit (SDK) might overwrite unrestricted policy files. Back up unrestricted policy files before you apply a fix pack and reapply these files after the fix pack is applied.
