Implement Security in Web.xml

In this section, we will look at specifying the security constraints for multiple use cases.

Use Case1: We would like to define a set of web resources that will have unchecked access. We will achieve this by omitting the authorization constrainsts (auth-constraint element).

<security-constraint>
   <web-resource-collection>
     <web-resource-name>All Access</web-resource-name>
     <url-pattern>/unchecked/*</url-pattern>
     <http-method>DELETE</http-method>
     <http-method>PUT</http-method>
     <http-method>HEAD</http-method>
     <http-method>OPTIONS</http-method>
     <http-method>TRACE</http-method>
     <http-method>GET</http-method>
     <http-method>POST</http-method>
   </web-resource-collection>
   <user-data-constraint>
     <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
   </user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
