I noticed in other posts that you(Anil) are looking into, or already created, 
an XACML JACC provider.  I'm doing something similar.

Suppose I have an XACML policy that specifies "/index.jsp" as the protected 
resource(target).  I have no need for the security contraints in the deployment 
descriptor. I won't enforce them as I only enforce the XACML policies.  But, 
when someone brings up index.jsp, and no security constraint exists in the 
deployment decriptor, the JACC provider doesn't even get called.  I'm not able 
to even evaluate the policy to grant or deny access. 

To work around this I place a security contraint on all web resources that 
allows all access.  Then JBoss calls JACC on all web accesses and I'm able to 
evaluate the XACML policy and grant or deny access.

WebSphere will call the JACC provider regardless of the security contraints in 
the deployment descriptor.  This is the behavior I expected from JBoss.
