Abstract
A programming model for component-based server applications provides declarative and programmatic access control at development without knowledge of the security configuration at deployment. The developer defines the server application access control by defining logical classes of users, called roles. The developer also can declare access privileges of the roles at package, component and interface levels of the server application. At development, the roles are bound to the particular security configuration of the server computer. The programming model also provides application programming and integration interfaces with which the developer can programmatically define access control of the roles to the server application's processing services.
