J2EE developers have an extraordinary array of powerful options for securing their Web services, Web applications, EJB components and RMI objects. Now, expert Java architect Pankaj Kumar helps developers make sense of Java's increasingly rich security APIs, tools, patterns, and best practices-showing how to use each of them in the right place, at the right time, and in the right way.
Kumar covers every significant J2SE and J2EE security mechanism, presenting practical implementation techniques for the entire J2EE project analysis, design, development, deployment and operations. The book's example-rich coverage
