/**
* This package contains classes that represent token types not represented in the wss4j or STS domain models, and the
* classes which implement the xml and json marshalling.
* These classes which represent tokens can serve as a type specifier for the generic types required in the AuthenticationHandler
* and TokenAuthenticationRequestDispatcher. Regarding token marshalling:
* tokens validated as part of a token transformation operation need json marshalling, to be specified in a
* REST-STS invocation, and xml marshalling, to be transformed into the ReceivedToken (built around a DOM Element)
* required by the CXF-STS. If the token type is produced as part of a token transformation, it will require XML marshalling
* so that it can take a DOM Element representation required by the TokenProviderResponse, but then be turned into json
* so that it can be returned from the REST-STS.
