org.apache.cactus.client.authentication
abstract public class: AbstractAuthentication [javadoc | source]

java.lang.Object
   org.apache.cactus.client.authentication.AbstractAuthentication

All Implemented Interfaces:
Authentication

Direct Known Subclasses:
FormAuthentication, BasicAuthentication

This class was designed with the simple assumption that ALL authentication implementations will have a String Name and a String Password. Two abstract functions validateName and validatePassword provide for concrete implementations to perform character validation. All the work is then done in the configure abstract function. In the BasicAuthentication class, for example, the configuring is done by adding the request property "Authorization" with a value "Basic <base64encode of 'userid:password'>".
