Using declarative security

When building your application's security features, you can use two approaches – programmatic security and declarative security:

• The programmatic approach is when you define the security policy of your application using code.
• The declarative approach is when you define the security policy by declaring the policies and then applying them accordingly.

This recipe will show you the declarative approach.

Getting ready

Let's start by adding the dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax</groupId>
            <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
            <version>8.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
   ...
