JSR-250 Common Annotations for the Java platform defines a series of annotations, some that are security-related, which are intended to be portable across JSR-250 compliant runtime environments. The Spring Framework became compliant with JSR-250 as part of the Spring 2.x release, including the Spring Security framework.
While JSR-250 annotations are not as expressive as Spring native annotations, they have the benefit that the declarations they provide are compatible across implementing Java EE application servers such as Glassfish or service-oriented runtime frameworks such as Apache Tuscany. Depending on your application's needs and requirements for portability, you may decide that the trade-off of reduced specificity is worth the portability of the code.
To implement the rule we specified in the first example, we make a few changes...
