Comment to Chris Clark answer. You can reverse - so in development you do not want to have any constraints (security or jndi, other)

<!-- ${enable.security.end}
<security-constraint>
    ...
</security-constraint>


${enable.security.start} -->

So in development you have commented out section. But in production it will be translated to (with maven profile):

<!-- -->
<security-constraint>
    ...
</security-constraint>


<!-- -->

and commented section will be visible.
