Description

Interface Summary

ContextElementMessageStream	The ContextHandlerMessageStream interface provides a way for context elements to specify that their internal streams must be reset prior to reading values.
ContextHandler	The ContextHandler interface provides a way for an internal Weblogic container to pass additional information to a WebLogic Security Framework call, so that a security provider can obtain additional context information beyond what is provided by the arguments to a particular method.
SecurityRole	The SecurityRole interface represents the abstract notion of a security role.

Class Summary

AdminResource	The AdminResource class is used by a container to specify the Administrative resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
ApplicationResource	The ApplicationResource class is used by a container to specify the Application resource (and method related to the resource) for which a security policy is being defined, or that a caller is attempting to access.
COMResource	The COMResource class is used by a container to specify a class type that can be exported from the COM runtime.
ContextElement	A ContextElement is an object used to represent a named value that is used in a ContextHandler.
ControlResource	The ControlResource class is used by a controls container to specify the Control resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
EISResource	The EISResource class is used by a container to specify the EIS resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
EJBResource	The EJBResource class is used by a container to specify the EJB resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
JDBCResource	The JDBCResource class is used by a container to specify the JDBC resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
JMSResource	The JMSResource class is used by a container to specify the JMS resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
JMXResource	The JMXResource class is used by a container to specify the JMX MBean resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
JNDIResource	The JNDIResource class is used by a container to specify the JMS resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
LegacyEnforceStrictURLPatternManager	The LegacyEnforceStrictURLPatternManager class provide enforceStrictURLPattern flag for backward compatibility with WebLogic Server version 8.1 When this flag is true WebLogic Server enforces the use of the " / " character as the default representation of an entire Web application in the security container.
LegacyWebAppFilesCaseInsensitiveManager
RemoteResource	The RemoteResource class is used by WLS to represent a service endpoint that is not deployed on the local WLS server.
ResourceBase	The ResourceBase class is an abstract base class for all the specific resource types and facilitates the model for the extending resources.
ServerResource	The ServerResource class is used by a container to specify the Server resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
URLResource	The URLResource class is used by a container to specify the URL resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
WebServiceResource	The WebServiceResource class is used by a container to specify the Web Service resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.
WorkContextResource	The WorkContextResource class is used by a container to specify the WorkContext resource (and method related to the resource) that a caller is attempting to access.

Exception Summary

InvalidParameterException	The InvalidParameterException exception is thrown if invalid parameters are passed to the WebLogic Security Framework (that is, if a method expects some input parameters and does not receive what it expects).
SecurityServiceRuntimeException	The SecurityServiceRuntimeException exception is the base exception implemented by some of the WebLogic Security Framework exceptions (that is, any exception that is unique to the weblogic.security.services package).

Package weblogic.security.service Description

This package includes interfaces, classes, and exceptions that support security providers. These interfaces, classes, and exceptions should be used in conjunction with those in the weblogic.security.spi package.

The *Resource classes are resource descriptions that specify what WebLogic Server resource is being accessed during a security operation. There are different resource classes for different types of resources. For example, there is a URL resource (weblogic.security.service.URLResource) and an EJB resource (weblogic.security.service.EJBResource). Several of the security service provider interfaces (SSPIs), including weblogic.security.spi.RoleMapper and weblogic.security.spi.AccessDecision, require resource descriptions to provide security services.

The exception classes should be used by security providers to signal various errors that may occur. For example, the MBean exception (weblogic.security.service.MBeanException) can be thrown when an error is found in a security provider's associated MBean. Many of these exceptions have equivalents in the weblogic.security.spi package. When exceptions exist in both packages, security providers should use the version in the weblogic.security.spi package.
