JACC (Java Authorization Contract for Containers) is part of the J2EE 1.4 specification that defines an interface for pluggable authorization providers. This enables the administrator to set up third-party plug in modules to perform authorization. By default, the Application Server provides a simple, JACC-compliant file-based authorization engine.
