| 5 | <p>The Java <strong>SecurityManager</strong> is what allows a web browser |
|---|
| 6 | to run an applet in its own sandbox to prevent untrusted code from |
|---|
| 7 | accessing files on the local file system, connecting to a host other |
|---|
| 8 | than the one the applet was loaded from, and so on. In the same way |
|---|
| 9 | the SecurityManager protects you from an untrusted applet running in |
|---|
| 10 | your browser, use of a SecurityManager while running Tomcat can protect |
|---|
| 11 | your server from trojan servlets, JSPs, JSP beans, and tag libraries. |
