J2EE Interview questions and answers
21. What is authorization?
The process by which access to a method or resource is
determined. Authorization depends on the determination
of whether the principal associated with a request
through authentication is in a given security role. A
security role is a logical grouping of users defined
by the person who assembles the application. A
deployer maps security roles to security identities.
Security identities may be principals or groups in the
operational environment.

to access a Web resource collection.

24. What is backing bean

that includes JavaServer Faces components. The backing
bean defines properties for the components on the page
and methods that perform processing for the component.
This processing includes event handling, validation,
and processing associated with navigation.
25. What is basic authentication
