de.aristaflow.adept2.base.security.callbackhandler.PasswordHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

AFCallbackHandler

public class PasswordHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements AFCallbackHandler

A simple callback handler providing a password to the appropriate callback (PasswordCallback) if required. Optionally an additional AFCallbackHandler can be provided to which all other Callbacks will be forwarded. If this is not provided and another callback is required, the callback handling will fail.

Creates a callback handler providing the designated password to the appropriate callbacks. If another Callback is required besides a PasswordCallback, callback handling will fail.

Parameters:

password - The password to provide in a PasswordCallback if required.

PasswordHandler

public PasswordHandler(java.lang.String password,
                       AFCallbackHandler furtherHandling)

Creates a callback handler providing the designated password to the appropriate callbacks. If another Callback is required besides a PasswordCallback, these callbacks will be collected and provided to the designated AFCallbackHandler.

Parameters:

password - The password to provide in a PasswordCallback if required.

furtherHandling - The AFCallbackHandler to which all other callbacks will be forwarded. This may be null which equals PasswordHandler(String).

handle

public javax.security.auth.callback.Callback[] handle(javax.security.auth.callback.Callback[] callbacks)
                                               throws javax.security.auth.callback.UnsupportedCallbackException,

Description copied from interface: AFCallbackHandler

This method is similar to CallbackHandler.handle(Callback[]) but returns the provided callbacks back to the caller. This allows for calling this method remotely. Note that all callbacks need to be serialisable.
When called remotely, the provided callbacks are copies of the server-side objects. When changing these objects, the changes are not reflected on server side. Therefore these objects (or rather copies of them) need to be returned.

Specified by:

handle in interface AFCallbackHandler

Parameters:

callbacks - The callbacks to be handled by this callback handler.

Returns:

All the callbacks that should be handled by this callback handler. Just return the complete array of callbacks. Do not skip any callbacks, for instance the ones that the callback handler did not handle!

Throws:

javax.security.auth.callback.UnsupportedCallbackException - If the implementation of this method does not support one or more of the callbacks specified in the callbacks parameter, an UnsupportedCallbackException will be thrown.

java.io.IOException - If an input or output error occurs, an IOException will be thrown.
