Interface MechanismAuthenticationFactory<M,F,E extends Exception>

Type Parameters:

M - the type of mechanism

F - the type of the mechanism's factory

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default M	createMechanism(String name)	Create the mechanism instance.
M	createMechanism(String name, UnaryOperator<F> factoryTransformation)	Create the mechanism instance.
F	getFactory()	Get the actual factory used for instantiation.
Collection<String>	getMechanismNames()	Get the collection of mechanism names may be supported by this factory.
SecurityDomain	getSecurityDomain()	Get the underlying SecurityDomain that mechanisms created by this factory will be using for authentication.

Method Detail

getSecurityDomain

SecurityDomain getSecurityDomain()

Get the underlying SecurityDomain that mechanisms created by this factory will be using for authentication.

Returns:

the underlying SecurityDomain that mechanisms created by this factory will be using for authentication.

getFactory

F getFactory()

Get the actual factory used for instantiation.

Returns:

the actual factory (not null)

createMechanism

M createMechanism(String name,
                  UnaryOperator<F> factoryTransformation)
           throws E extends Exception

Create the mechanism instance.

Parameters:

name - the mechanism name (must not be null)

factoryTransformation - the transformation to apply to the factory (must not be null)

Returns:

the mechanism, or null if the mechanism with the given name is not supported

Throws:

E - if the mechanism instantiation failed

E extends Exception

createMechanism

default M createMechanism(String name)
                   throws E extends Exception

Create the mechanism instance.

Parameters:

name - the mechanism name (must not be null)

Returns:

the mechanism, or null if the mechanism with the given name is not supported

Throws:

E - if the mechanism instantiation failed

E extends Exception

getMechanismNames

Collection<String> getMechanismNames()

Get the collection of mechanism names may be supported by this factory. The actual set of available mechanisms depends on run-time factors but will generally not be greater than this collection.

Returns:

the mechanism names (not null)
