Implementing role-based security for the Bank Account sample

You can implement role-based security for the Bank Account sample using the Assembly Toolkit (ATK, which is a component of the Application Server Toolkit, ASTK). This tool is shipped as part of WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1 and later. You can use the graphical user interface of ATK to (among other things) edit the contents of an enterprise bean's deployment descriptor.

Before you start, ensure that you have ATK installed on your workstation. Once installed, the tool can be launched from an icon which is added to your Start menu in Windows.

ATK is used for the first stage of implementing role-based security, which involves editing the deployment descriptor for the enterprise bean. When you have completed that stage, follow the instructions for the second stage of implementing role-based security, which involves configuring other software.
