Did you know that specifying GET and POST means that the other http methods like DELETE and PUT will not be secure?

<security-constraint>
        <web-resource-collection>

name</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> <!-- define all url patterns
that need to be protected-->
            <http-method>GET</http-method>
            <http-method>POST</http-method>
        </web-resource-collection>

<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> </user-data-constraint>


</security-constraint>

If someone tries to access the above url pattern over http, the server
automatically redirects to a https connection.

There are many theories out there. From personal experience, the simplest/cleanest way to do it is with Struts + the sslext plugin. But even then, don't expect it to be trivial. Run some Google searches to find components, tutorials, articles, etc. Those things should make your life a little easier.

Hi,


Have a page First.jsp

When a user comes to http://my.domain.com/First.jsp ... I would like to

redirect him or her to https://my.domain.com/First.jsp.

How do I do this on my jsp ? I tried <% request.redirect("https://my.domain.com/First.jsp";) %> , but i get an exception saying

cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : method redirect (java.lang.String)
location: interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
                                        response.redirect(path);

Thanks.
