For better protection of JViews Web applications, security mechanisms have been
introduced for both JSF and JavaScript JViews Web applications.
As described in the section Programmer's
documentation>Building Web applications>JViews Web technology architecture>Client-server
architecture, the JViews Web application will send the request by using
client JavaScript libraries in the browser,
to the JViews servlet class on
the server side and then it will update the client with the information
received from the response. The request URL sent by the client is
composed of a list of requested parameters. So we can validate these
requested parameters and expected values on the server side for security
purposes.
The following section provides detailed steps about how
to use the mechanism and how to customize it in your JViews Web application.
Before using the parameter validation mechanism, you
must first create a normal JViews JSF or JavaScript application,
(see Programmer's documentation>Building
Web applications, for more information) to integrate JViews Web components in your application. Then you
can follow the following sections to enable parameter validation in
your JViews Web application and
customize it.
