Interface SecurityEnvironment

All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultSecurityEnvironmentImpl, WSITProviderSecurityEnvironment, WssProviderSecurityEnvironment

public interface SecurityEnvironment
The SecurityEnvironment interface links the XWS-Security runtime with the environment/container in which it is running. The SecurityEnvironment interface is invoked by the XWS-Security runtime to perform tasks such as retrieving keys, validating tokens etc.

When using the XWS-Security configuration files with <xwss:JAXRPCSecurity> as the root element, a default implementation of this interface wraps the supplied CallbackHandler. The default implemenation of this interface bundled with XWS-Security invokes the CallbackHandler to implement the methods of this interface.

This interface facilitates usage of XWS-Security in environments which do not necessarily have a natural mapping to the XWS-Security defined callbacks.

There is generally a single SecurityEnvironment instance per-application, which is initialized at application startup.

Note: This interface is evolving and is subject to change in a later release
