public abstract class BaseRealm
extends Realm

Parent class for iAS Realm classes.

This class provides default implementation for most of the abstract methods in com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.Realm. Since most of these abstract methods are not supported by Realms there is no need for the subclasses to implement them. The default implementations provided here generally throw an exception if invoked.
