Summary: This document provides technical information about the extension called Security for Java (com.castsoftware.securityforjava).
Description
The Security for Java (com.castsoftware.securityforjava) extension automatically generates JEE specific bytecode (also known as "CASTIL") for the User Input Security feature that is part of CAST AIP.

The extension can be downloaded on its own as a standalone extension.
