             Summary: Enable JACC for Servlet
                 Key: TOMEE-1912
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-1912
             Project: TomEE
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 7.0.1
            Reporter: Arjan Tijms


Currently JACC is only enabled for the EJB container in TomEE, but not for the Servlet container. 

Practically this means that for the EJB container permissions are collected and put into the {{PolicyConfiguration}} and that for access decisions for protected EJB beans the {{Policy}} is called. For the Servlet container neither happens.

I would like to request to enable JACC for the Servlet container as well.

As Geronimo implemented this earlier for Tomcat, it may be possible to look at how Geronimo did this (especially the web.xml constraints to {{Permission}} collection transformation is not exactly trivial and would be beneficial if it could be re-used from Geronimo).

The Tomcat community itself also demonstrated a mild interest in JACC (very small interest perhaps, but it appeared on their roadmap for consideration a couple of times), so perhaps some coordination with Mark is possible.

See also a discussion about this on the [TomEE mailing list|http://tomee-openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/How-can-I-enable-JACC-in-TomEE-td4673113.html].
