Java Servlet Security Example

Date: 2018-01-02

This tutorial demonstrates configuring basic authentication in Java servlets using the @ServletSecurity annotation. It emphasizes using HTTPS for security as basic authentication over HTTP transmits credentials in plain text. The tutorial details creating a Maven project in Eclipse, adding necessary dependencies, and implementing two servlets: one public and one secured using @HttpMethodConstraint and @HttpConstraint within @ServletSecurity. The secured servlet requires authentication, prompting for credentials. The example uses Tomcat's tomcat-users.xml for user management. Deployment and testing steps are included.
