| CallbackHandler
An application implements a
CallbackHandler and passes
it to underlying security services so that they may interact with
the application to retrieve specific authentication data,
such as usernames and passwords, or to display certain information,
such as error and warning messages. |

authentication data such as usernames and passwords, or to display
certain information, such as error and warning messages. |
| UnsupportedCallbackException
Signals that a
CallbackHandler does not
recognize a particular Callback. |
