Bill,
here is an article that I wrote to basically dump my understanding.

Bill,
I agree on the usable security part of the arguments and we will do
whatever we can.
Typically, I write articles such as the ones for JBoss AS5.1
http://java.dzone.com/users/janilsal
This is what I have for AS7.1
http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossAS7SecurityDomainModel
http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossAS7SecurityAuditing
I will provide a writeup on the EE web security you have asked for,
later in the day.
Regards,
Anil
