To set a security constraint using NetBeans IDE, do the following:
1. Expand the node of your project in the Projects pane.
2. Expand the Web Pages and WEB-INF nodes that are under the project node.
3. Double-click web.xml.
4. After the web.xml file appears in the editor pane, click Security at the top of the editor pane.
5. Click Add Security Constraint.
6. Enter a name for the constraint in the Display Name field.
7. Click Add to add a web resource collection.
8. In the Add Web Resource dialog:
a. Enter a name for the web resource collection in the Resource Name field.
b. In the URL pattern field, enter the path to a JSP page to which you want to restrict access,
such as /response.jsp. Use commas to separate multiple patterns.
c. Click OK.
To set a security constraint by editing the deployment descriptor directly, add a
security-constraint
element, and inside the security-constraint element, add the
following:
1. Add a display-name element to identify the name of the constraint.
2. Add a web-resource-collection element.
3. Inside the web-resource-collection element, add a web-resource-name element that
identifies the purpose of the collection.
4. Add a url-pattern element inside the web-resource-collection element and enter the
path to a JSP page to which you want to restrict access, such as /response.jsp.
5. Continue to add URL patterns for all the JSP pages to which you want to restrict access.

2. Expand the Web Pages and WEB-INF nodes that are under the project node.
3. Double-click web.xml.
4. After the web.xml file appears in the editor pane, click General at the top of the editor pane.
