* Applications use this class by overriding {@link * #getPasswordAuthentication()} in a sub-class. This method will * typically use the various getXXX() accessor methods to get information * about the entity requesting authentication. It must then acquire a * username and password either by interacting with the user or through * some other non-interactive means. The credentials are then returned * as a {@link PasswordAuthentication} return value. *
* An instance of this concrete sub-class is then registered * with the system by calling {@link #setDefault(Authenticator)}. * When authentication is required, the system will invoke one of the * requestPasswordAuthentication() methods which in turn will call the * getPasswordAuthentication() method of the registered object. *
* All methods that request authentication have a default implementation * that fails. * * @see java.net.Authenticator#setDefault(java.net.Authenticator) * @see java.net.Authenticator#getPasswordAuthentication() * * @author Bill Foote * @since 1.2 */ // There are no abstract methods, but to be useful the user must // subclass. public abstract class Authenticator { // The system-wide authenticator object.
