Interface MessageInfo


  • public interface MessageInfo
    A container (message processing runtime) uses this interface to pass messages and message processing state to authentication contexts for processing by authentication mechanisms (modules).

    This interface encapsulates a request message object and a response message object for a message exchange. This interface may also be used to associate additional context in the form of key/value pairs, with the encapsulated messages.

    Every implementation of this interface should provide a zero argument constructor, and a constructor which takes a single Map argument. Additional constructors may also be provided.

        Object getRequestMessage()
        Get the request message object from this MessageInfo.
        Returns:
        An object representing the request message, or null if no request message is set within the MessageInfo.
      • getResponseMessage

        Object getResponseMessage()
        Get the response message object from this MessageInfo.
        Returns:
        an object representing the response message, or null if no response message is set within the MessageInfo.
      • setRequestMessage

        void setRequestMessage​(Object request)
        Set the request message object in this MessageInfo.
        Parameters:
        request - An object representing the request message.
      • setResponseMessage

        void setResponseMessage​(Object response)
        Set the response message object in this MessageInfo.
        Parameters:
        response - An object representing the response message.
      • getMap

        Map getMap()
        Get (a reference to) the Map object of this MessageInfo. Operations performed on the acquired Map must effect the Map within the MessageInfo.
        Returns:
        the Map object of this MessageInfo. This method never returns null. If a Map has not been associated with the MessageInfo, this method instantiates a Map, associates it with this MessageInfo, and then returns it.
