Interface Authentication


public interface Authentication

Interface that must be implemented by classes which provide authentication checks, that are used in the action mapping's property "authClass". Please note that only a single instance of each authentication class is instanciated. Therefore, you have to be very careful when using data members. Normally only the single method check is provided, which does not work on any object's variables.
