Why and when to perform this task
WebSphere Application Server supports the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) model for creating, assembling, securing, and deploying applications. This article provides a high-level description of what is involved in securing resources in a J2EE environment. Applications are often created, assembled, and deployed in different phases and by different teams.
Consult the J2EE specifications for complete details.
Steps for this task
Most of the steps in assembling J2EE applications involve deployment descriptors; deployment descriptors play a central role in application security in a J2EE environment.
Application assemblers combine J2EE modules, resolve references between them, and create from them a single deployment unit, typically an Enterprise Archive (EAR) file. Component providers and application assemblers can be represented by the same person.
Result
Your applications and production environment are secured.Related concepts
