J2EE Security for Architects

  • Risk Analysis

To my mind, Risk Analysis is a general exercise that will apply equaly to all apps irrespective of the language used to implement the app. So would say that this belongs in the Guide rather than the Java project, unless you have some ideas on how to make this Java specific? --Stephendv 08:04, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

  • Mapping Regulatory requirements to technical requirements

Same as above. --Stephendv 08:04, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

  • Design considerations

This is quite general. Shall we narrow it down to the architectural issues that should be considered for each of the popular architectures such as:

  • Architectural considerations
    • EJB Middle tier
    • Web Services Middle tier
    • Spring Middle tier

--Stephendv 08:04, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

  • Frameworks you should be aware of (e.g. struts, stinger, etc.)

There are many frameworks out there, so I'd suggest we keep this down to frameworks that specifically offer security functionality such as:

  • Acegi
  • Commons validator
  • Stinger seems to be parked for a while now, is this correct Jeff?

Most web tier frameworks will prevent XSS attacks, so listing them all in this section is a bit verbose, would prefer to see them listed in the XSS section. --Stephendv 08:04, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

J2EE Security for Developers

  • Misc I/P Validation Attacks (e.g. HTTP Response Splitting) - Moved this out to a separate section below. --Stephendv 08:41, 12 June 2006 (EDT)
  • Using struts Would recommend we cover a number of frameworks as mentioned above. --Stephendv 08:04, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

LDAP Injection

  • Overview

Session Management

  • Session Fixation
  • Terminating sessions
