Package javax.servlet.annotation
Annotation Interface HttpConstraint
This annotation is used within the
ServletSecurity
annotation to
represent the security constraints to be applied to all HTTP protocol
methods for which a corresponding HttpMethodConstraint
element does
NOT occur within the ServletSecurity
annotation.
For the special case where an @HttpConstraint
that returns
all default values occurs in combination with at least one
HttpMethodConstraint
that returns other than all default values, the
@HttpConstraint
represents that no security constraint is to be
applied to any of the HTTP protocol methods to which a security constraint
would otherwise apply. This exception is made to ensure that such
potentially non-specific uses of @HttpConstraint
do not yield
constraints that will explicitly establish unprotected access for such
methods; given that they would not otherwise be covered by a constraint.

value
The default authorization semantic. This value is insignificant whenrolesAllowed
returns a non-empty array, and should not be specified when a non-empty array is specified for rolesAllowed.- Returns:
- the
ServletSecurity.EmptyRoleSemantic
to be applied whenrolesAllowed
returns an empty (that is, zero-length) array.
- Default:
- PERMIT
-
transportGuarantee
ServletSecurity.TransportGuarantee transportGuaranteeThe data protection requirements (i.e., whether or not SSL/TLS is required) that must be satisfied by the connections on which requests arrive.- Returns:
- the
ServletSecurity.TransportGuarantee
indicating the data protection that must be provided by the connection.
- Default:
- NONE
-
rolesAllowed
String[] rolesAllowedThe names of the authorized roles. Duplicate role names appearing in rolesAllowed are insignificant and may be discarded during runtime processing of the annotation. The String "*" has no special meaning as a role name (should it occur in rolesAllowed).- Returns:
- an array of zero or more role names. When the array contains
zero elements, its meaning depends on the
EmptyRoleSemantic
returned by thevalue
method. Ifvalue
returns DENY, androlesAllowed
returns a zero length array, access is to be denied independent of authentication state and identity. Conversely, ifvalue
returnsPERMIT
, it indicates that access is to be allowed independent of authentication state and identity. When the array contains the names of one or more roles, it indicates that access is contingent on membership in at least one of the named roles (independent of theEmptyRoleSemantic
returned by thevalue
method).
- Default:
- {}
