Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Interface javax.security.auth.callback.Callback-Handler

Synopsis

If you want to perform callbacks to obtain information from the user, you must create a class that implements this interface and provide that class to the LoginContext object. Certain login modules require that you implement certain callbacks; check the login module documentation for more details. In the handle( ) method, you must loop through the array, find out the actual type of each object, and then handle the type specifically.
