I think this *might* work ... Otherwise google works very nice ...

<security-constraint>
   <web-resource-collection>
     <web-resource-name>cowbell</web-resource-name>
     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
     <http-method>TRACE</http-method>
   </web-resource-collection>
   <auth-constraint>
     <role-name></role-name>
   </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
