WebLogic Server 8.1 API Reference

weblogic.security.principal
Interface WLSPrincipal

All Known Implementing Classes:

WLSAbstractPrincipal

public interface WLSPrincipal

extends java.security.Principal, java.io.Serializable

The WLSPrincipal interface is a convenience interface that defines a principal whose name field will be signed by the PrincipalValidatorImpl class. To use this class, you should make the PrincipalValidatorImpl class the runtime class for your Principal Validation provider, or extend that class and make the extended class your Principal Validation provider. Then implement the required methods.

Note: Use of this class is not required by WebLogic Server. It is simply a convenience interface.
