All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

public class BESecurityServlet
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Servlet for editing the config/beSecurity.xml file in a user-friendly way. A GET request will present an HTML form populated with existing values in beSecurity.xml and non-configured values for all other bMechs and methods that exist in the repository at the time of the request. A POST request will save the results of the form submission over the existing config/beSecurity.xml file, cause an automatic reload of the policies, then describe to the user how/why they may change the servlet password database to reflect the changes.
