Abstract : |
The Enterprise JavaBeaus (EJB) framexvork requires devel-opers to preserve architectural integrity constraints when writing EJB components. Breaking these constraints allows components to violate the transaction protocol, bypass security mechanisms, disable object persistence, and be susceptible to malicious attacks from other EJBs. We present an object confinement discipline that allows static verification of component integrity as they are deployed into an EJB server. The confinement rules are simple for developers to understand, require no anuotation to the code of EJB components, and enforcement of these rules can bc incorporated efficiently into existing EJB servers., |
