Using the JACC access control type

The JACC (Java™ Authorization Contract for Containers) mechanism authorizes method and component access using the Java system implementation or by a custom JACC policy provider implementation.

The JACC mechanism must be configured by deploying the EJB-JAR with the -jacc command-line option. Deployment with this option creates an additional configuration script to configure the JACC settings for the module. You must also configure the JACC settings for the EAServer security domain. For details, see “JACC (JSR-115) support” in Chapter 10, “Security Configuration Tasks,” in the Security Administration and Programming Guide.
