I'm using Tomcat 7.0.8.

I have a servlet with a doGet method that has a @DenyAll annotation

However, when I run the servlet, it seems to make no difference, and
doGet is still called.

It was my understanding that @DenyAll was supposed to prevent access to
the method on which it is applied.

Do I need to turn something on to get Tomcat to recognize the security
annotations?  I can't get any of the security annotations to do anything.
You need to read the Servlet 3 specification. @DenyAll is not part of
Servlet 3.0. To quote from the change log:
<quote>
Added a new annotation - @ServletSecurity (and associated annotation for
the fields) for defining security as opposed to re-using the
@RolesAllowed, @PermitAll, @DenyAll
</quote>

Ahh thanks for that.  It makes a bit more sense now.

However, I downloaded the Servlet 3.0 spec and used the exact examples from the security chapter, and it still seems to ignore the annotations completely:

I copied these right from the spec:

@ServletSecurity(@HttpConstraint(transportGuarantee = TransportGuarantee.CONFIDENTIAL))

also this:

@ServletSecurity(@HttpConstraint(EmptyRoleSemantic.DENY))

Neither did anything.

I'm running Tomcat in Netbeans 7 beta 2. Would running in that environment affect the security annotations?

thanks,
Mike
