What is the better approach to implement method level authorization in JBossWS using POJO's ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • What is the easiest way to restrict access to certain webmethods within a webservice ?
  • Already had success in securing webservices as a whole by using the WS-Security Endpoint config. Also successfully use BASIC Auth defined in the web.xml.

  • Both ways work for and have them mapped to application-policies defined in the login-config.xml file. Now just need the extra granularity to be able to map roles to individual web mothods.

  • Is this possible with a annotated POJO webservice or would we need to switch to an EJB based WS?
