public interface ProviderMBean
extends StandardInterface, DescriptorBean

The base MBean for all security providers.

It includes attributes common to all security providers. Every security provider must implement an MBean that extends this MBean.

If the security provider supports management methods, the management methods cannot be called until the validate method of realm in which the security provider is configured successfully returns. That is, the administrator must completely configure the realm before using the management methods (for example, adding a user).

getDescription

java.lang.String getDescription()

Returns a description of this security provider.

Each security provider's MBean should set the default value of this read-only attribute to a string that describes the provider. In other words, each security provider's MBean hard-wires its description. There are no conventions governing the contents of the description. It should be a human readable string that gives a brief description of the security provider.

Each security provider's MBean should set the default value of this read-only attribute to a string that specifies the version of the provider (e.g. 7.3.04). In other words, each security provider's MBean hard-wires its version. There are no conventions governing the contents of the version string.
