In-Depth Information
We can then add a role name and an optional description. After clicking the
OK
button, we can see our newly added security role in the NetBeans
web.xml
visual editor.
Our application requires two security roles, admin and user, the proce-
dure to add each security role is identical, therefore adding the user role
is not shown.
Next, we need to specify what roles have access to what pages. We can do this by
clicking on the
Add Security Constraint
button.
It is recommended to modify the default for the
Display Name
field, giving it a
descriptive value. We then need to specify the pages that belong to our security
constraint, we do this by clicking on the
Add...
button under the
Web Resource
Collection
section.
