Implementing container authentication in Java EE with JASPIC

-
This article takes a look at the state of security support in Java EE 6, with a focus on applications that wish to do their own authentication and the usage of the JASPI/JASPIC/JSR 196 API. Update: the further reading section has been moved to my ZEEF page about JASPIC . This contains links to articles, background, questions and answers, and more.   Declarative security is easy In Java EE it has always been relatively straightforward to specify to which resources security constraints should be applied. For web resources (Servlets, JSP pages, etc) there is the <security-constraint> element in web.xml, while for EJB beans there's the @RolesAllowed annotation. Via this so called 'declarative security' the programmer can specify that only a user having the given roles is allowed access to the protected web resource, or may invoke methods on the protected bean. The declarative model has a programmatic counterpart via methods like HttpServletRequest#isUserInR...

Draft list of changes in Servlet 4.0

-
The proposed final draft (PDF) of the Servlet 4.0 spec has just been made available at GitHub . The major new feature is HTTP/2 support and specifically the push support that comes with it. Java EE already has support for push via WebSockets (including WebSocket support in JSF 2.3 ), but there are other interesting changes as well, such as for instance the Mapping Discovery API . The following contains a terse list of changes, taken from section A.1 of the above linked Servlet 4.0 PFD document. All mentioned references to sections are to that document. Requirement to support HTTP/2, see Section 1.2, “What is a Servlet Container?” on page 1-1 and “What is a Servlet?” on page 1 1. This includes HTTP/2 server push, see “HTTP/2 Server Push” on page 3 29. Modify javadoc for ServletContext getAttribute() and getInitParameter(), specify that NullPointerException must be thrown if the argument “name” is null. Modify javadoc for ServletContext.setAttribute() and setInitParameter() to...

Testing JASPIC 1.1 on IBM Liberty EE 7 beta

-
In this article we take a look at the latest April 2015 beta version of IBM's Liberty server, and specifically look at how well it implements the Java EE authentication standard JASPIC. The initial version of Liberty implemented only a seemingly random assortment of Java EE APIs, but the second version that we looked at last year officially implemented the (Java EE 6) web profile. This year however the third incarnation is well on target to implement the full profile of Java EE 7. This means IBM's newer and much lighter Liberty (abbreviated WLP), will be a true alternative for the older and incredibly obese WebSphere (abbreviated WAS) where it purely concerns the Java EE standard APIs. From having by far the most heavyweight server on the market (weighing in at well over 2GB), IBM can now offer a server that's as light and small as various offerings from its competition. For this article we'll be specifically looking at how well JASPIC works on Liberty. Please ta...
