Interface SubjectSecurityContext

All Superinterfaces:
  SecurityContext

    public interface SubjectSecurityContext

extends SecurityContext

Security context that allows establishing a subject before a resource method or a sub-resource locator is called. Container or filters should set an implementation of this interface to the request context using `ContainerRequest.setSecurityContext(javax.ws.rs.core.SecurityContext)`. When Jersey detects this kind of context is in the request scope, it will use `doAsSubject(java.security.PrivilegedAction)` method to dispatch the request to a resource method (or to call a sub-resource locator).
