servlets - Password protection .htaccess like in Java web applications -


i have following scenario:

i'm developing java ee web application running on jboss 6.1.0 , want publish application on public server end-user testing.

for example: http://mysite.com/testings/app1/

my question: appropriate way protect directory in .htaccess (apache http server) fashion, so, when client try access http://mysite.com/testings/app1/ asked user/password combination?.

i think there 2 options:

  1. configuration on servlet server?
  2. reverse proxy?.

i want clarify best practice in situation, because php applications .htaccess feature fit needs.

you can use spring security that, wrote example in how do http basic auth using struts 2/ spring 3?.

or can use apache httpd server "above" jboss (using rewrites , proxy) users access site via apache, , apache forwards jboss (that listen on localhost). here example rewrite rule forward "www.mysite.com" web application "myapp" ajp connector on port 8009:

<virtualhost www.mysite.com:80 >     rewriteengine on     rewritecond %{http_host} www\.mysite\.com     rewriterule ^/(.*)$ ajp://localhost:8009/myapp/$1 [p,qsa,l] </virtualhost>

and can use apache auth system, example protect admin/* pages:

<proxy ajp://localhost:8009/myapp/admin/* >     order deny,allow     allow     allowoverride authconfig     authtype basic     authname "admin"     authuserfile /etc/apache2/passwd/admin.passwd     require valid-user </proxy>
