Declarative Security--what's this?

How can I define the term "Declarative Security" in context of web programming? Is it same like defining "Declarative Programming"?

Usually this is the opposite of "Programmatic Security." You can define the security attributes of a "bean" or component by using XML in the appropriate place, or annotations in the Java class.

The JavaEE 6 tutorial has a section called Using Deployment Descriptors for Declarative Security.

In Java EE, the component containers are responsible for providing application security. A container provides two types of security: declarative and programmatic.
