Managing and Securing Manageable Resources in Stateless Web Server Architecture Using Servlet Filters

A computer program product for controlling fine-grained security access to managed resources in a stateless web server architecture comprising:

• a computer-readable, storage memory device;
• and
• program instructions embodied by the computer-readable, storage memory
• device for causing a computer processor to perform steps comprising:
• extracting, by a computer, a request pattern from a valid relative path portion of a validly-formatted Uniform Resource Locator request;
• mapping, by a computer, at least a portion of the extracted request pattern to one or more application program components;
• and
• responsive to the mapping, performing, by a computer, security access to the one or more application program components;
• thereby providing improved administration of computer resources in a stateless web server independent of rules of a central administration unit.

A system for controlling fine-grained security access to managed resources in a stateless web server architecture comprising:

• a computer processor;
• a computer-readable, storage memory device communicably disposed to the computer processor;
• and
• program instructions embodied by the computer-readable, storage memory device for causing the computer processor to perform steps comprising:
• extracting, by a computer, a request pattern from a valid relative path portion of a validly-formatted Uniform Resource Locator request;
