Installation
Installation of OWASP CSRFGuard 3 is very straight forward requiring two simple steps. First, you must copy the Owasp.CsrfGuard.jar file and map the CsrfGuardFilter in your application's deployment descriptor (web.xml). After copying over the OWASP CSRFGuard library, declare and map the CsrfGuardFilter in your application's web.xml deployment descriptor. This instructs the application server to initialize the OWASP CSRFGuard Filter protecting those resources that match the Filter mapping. You'll need to make sure you tell CsrfGuardFilter the location of your CSRFGuard properties file via the config JavaEE Filter init-param directive.
