hello!
I've been out a few days, and on coming back i noticed a few mails about
protecting files/servlets and general webapp security...here's my two cents
on it..
the servlet specification requires the servlet container to provide some
security features.
In particular, with Tomcat, you can have quite good control over your web
application.
For eg, in the web.xml file of your web application, you can define a
collection of resources(servlets, htmls, images etc) and then define
secuirity constraints, security roles, authentication methods etc for that
particular collection.
for more information, just go thru the DTD of the web.xml file that came
with Tomcat...
hope this helps,
kishor
