WebSphere Process Server supports the Service Component Architecture (SCA) as well as the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) model for creating, assembling, securing, and deploying applications. This topic provides a high-level description of what is involved in securing resources in a SCA or J2EE environment. Applications are often created, assembled, and deployed in different phases and by different teams.
For more information, see Planning to secure your environment. Complete this step before you install WebSphere Application Server.
For more information, see Security considerations during installation. For example, during this step, you learn how to protect security configurations after you install the product.
For more information, see Developing secured applications.
For more information, see Assembling secured applications. Assembly tools are used to assemble J2EE modules and to set the attributes in the deployment descriptors.
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.
For more information, see Deploying (installing) secure applications. The deployer link entities referred to in an enterprise application are mapped to the runtime environment.
