Security challenges for enterprise Java in an e-business environment

As e-business matures, companies require enterprise-scalable functionality for their corporate Internet and intranet environments. To support the expansion of their computing boundaries, businesses have embraced Web application servers. These servers support servlets, JavaServer PagesTM, and Enterprise JavaBeansTM technologies, providing simplified development and flexible deployment of Web-based applications. However, securing this malleable model presents a challenge. Successful companies recognize that their security infrastructures need to address the e-business challenge. They are aware of the types of attacks that malevolent entities can launch against their servers and can plan appropriate defenses.
