Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method comprising: traversing a representation of a hierarchy of security domains until locating a first element of the representation that indicates a code resource, wherein the code resource comprises program code that is deployed on an application server; determining that the first element is associated with a scope of a first of the security domains that encompasses a group of code resources that include the code resource, wherein the first element represents the first security domain; determining a security configuration associated with the first element of the representation; applying the security configuration to the code resource; determining that the security configuration does not indicate a first security setting that should be applied to the code resource; traversing the representation of the hierarchy of security domain until location a second element of the representation that indicates the code resource; determining that the second element is associated with a second scope of a second of the security domains, wherein the second scope encompasses a second group of code resources that includes the code resource; determining a second security configuration that indicates the first security setting is associated with the second element of the representation, wherein the second security configuration is associated with the second element; and applying the first security setting to the code resource.
