Security is a wide ranging topic which operates on many levels and covers many technologies. The technologies involved include networks, operating systems, database systems, and application servers as well as manual procedures.
Application level security in the context of Java EE applications is provided by web and EJB containers. This article by Michael Sikora will be mostly concerned with EJB container security. However, as EJBs are often invoked from the web-tier we will take a brief look at web container security later in this article.
We will cover the following topics:
- Java EE container security
- Authentication
- GlassFish authentication
- Authenticating an EJB client
- Declarative and programmatic EJB authorization
- Web-tier authentication and authorization

In that way, if one printer is busy or down, another printer can be automatically selected to perform the job. Such groupings of printers are called printer classes.
