The "task in question" is database-oriented user management - or, more
appropriately, user management, period.
There's a huge roadblock here, in that Sun didn't go far enough in the J2EE
spec, and didn't specify how user management should be done, but just that
it should implement certain mechanisms. As a result, each vendor/container
tends to have its own mechanisms. Apache has modules, for example. Orion has
usermanagers. Weblogic has its own process; so does Tomcat. There's not "one
way" to accomplish it that I know of, outside of doing it yourself, which
voids the whole security aspect. (Don't do it yourself! -- which is Paolo's
main problem, IMHO.) JAAS should help, because it looks like it'll be part
of J2EE itself, which means the container vendors will be able to
standardize on a single mechanism.
However, that means that the "best practices" for any given server are
dependent ON that server; I have experience with user security on only two
containers, one of which isn't Java at all (Apache) and Orion. If you're
using Orion, I can tell you EXACTLY what the best way is of doing this. If
you're not...
