Summary

0001419: multiple http-method security-constraints

Description

(rep by K Fetterman)

In the specification, it shows an example of the security constraints
that are placed in web.xml. I have displayed it below:

<security-constraint>
   <web-resource-collection>
     <web-resource-name>restricted methods</web-resource-name>
     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
     <http-method>DELETE</http-method>
     <http-method>PUT</http-method>
   </web-resource-collection>
   <auth-constraint/>
</security-constraint>
<security-constraint>
   <web-resource-collection>
     <web-resource-name>wholesale</web-resource-name>
     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
     <http-method>GET</http-method>
     <http-method>POST</http-method>
   </web-resource-collection>
   <auth-constraint>
     <role-name>SALESCLERK</role-name>
   </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>

<login-config>
   <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
   <realm-name>Wholesale</realm-name>
</login-config>

<security-role>
   <role-name>SALESCLERK</role-name>
</security-role>

From what I read, the above configuration should prevent all DELETE and
PUT requests and use Basic Auth to when performing GET and POST
requests. Resin doesn't do this. Using the above configuration, it does
not perform any authentication when performing a GET or POST request.
Essentially, it ignores the second security constraint declaration and
allows anyone to perform a get or post.

I tried various combinations of above, but none work as expected.
I ended up deleting the second security constraint and removing all
<http-method> declarations so the security constraint applies to all
methods.
