3.2.2 Deployment of a firewall for Session and Entity Bean
The following is an example of a system configuration that provides access to Session and Entity Bean via a firewall.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) System configuration features
In this configuration, the firewall is installed before the Session and Entity Bean as seen from the EJB clients.
The figure below shows this configuration.
|
For other examples, see 3.2 Description of the system configuration in the uCosminexus Application Server System Design Guide.
- Features
-
Because access to the Session and Entity Bean goes through the firewall, this system prevents unauthorized third party access to the system, leakage of information handled by applications, and illegal operation by third parties.
- Access from the clients
-
Access to the Session and Entity Bean from all EJB clients goes through the firewall.
(2) Machine software required and processes to be activated
When using the firewall, the necessary software and processes to be activated on the application server machine and client machine are the same as those for system configurations that use Session and Entity Bean as access points. See 3.4.3 Configuration with Session Beans and Entity Beans as access points in the uCosminexus Application Server System Design Guide.
