J2EE web applications are secured by defining, in the web deployment descriptor, the roles required by the subjects for accessing secured Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). As for Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), the security constraints are defined at method level for the home and remote interface methods in the EJB deployment descriptor.
