JCatapult security in depth
This talk will focus on the JCatapult security framework and how it can be used and extended to provide security in web applications. JCatapult is a new web application platform and one of the features it provides is a security framework that handles most web application security needs. This framework is extensible and defines APIs that allow extremely loose coupling to the framework itself.
JCatapult is a new web application development platform that provides many features, including a security framework. JCatapult is discovery based and the security framework is no exception.

Here are the topics we will cover:
- JCatapult discovery
- Adding the security framework
- Custom user objects
- Implementing the security interfaces
- Adding a login form
- Configuring authorization
- Saved request handling
