<FONT color="green">026</FONT> * A &lt;tt&gt;Realm&lt;/tt&gt; is a security component that can access application-specific security entities<a name="line.26"></a>
<FONT color="green">027</FONT> * such as users, roles, and permissions to determine authentication and authorization operations.<a name="line.27"></a>
<FONT color="green">028</FONT> *<a name="line.28"></a>
<FONT color="green">029</FONT> * &lt;p&gt;&lt;tt&gt;Realm&lt;/tt&gt;s usually have a 1-to-1 correspondance with a datasource such as a relational database,<a name="line.29"></a>
<FONT color="green">030</FONT> * file sysetem, or other similar resource. As such, implementations of this interface use datasource-specific APIs to<a name="line.30"></a>
<FONT color="green">031</FONT> * determine authorization data (roles, permissions, etc), such as JDBC, File IO, Hibernate or JPA, or any other<a name="line.31"></a>
<FONT color="green">032</FONT> * Data Access API. They are essentially security-specific<a name="line.32"></a>
<FONT color="green">033</FONT> * &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Access_Object" target="_blank"&gt;DAO&lt;/a&gt;s.<a name="line.33"></a>
<FONT color="green">034</FONT> *<a name="line.34"></a>
<FONT color="green">035</FONT> * &lt;p&gt;Because most of these datasources usually contain Subject (a.k.a. User) information such as usernames and<a name="line.35"></a>
<FONT color="green">036</FONT> * passwords, a Realm can act as a pluggable authentication module in a<a name="line.36"></a>
<FONT color="green">037</FONT> * &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluggable_Authentication_Modules"&gt;PAM&lt;/a&gt; configuration. This allows a Realm to<a name="line.37"></a>
<FONT color="green">038</FONT> * perform &lt;i&gt;both&lt;/i&gt; authentication and authorization duties for a single datasource, which caters to the large<a name="line.38"></a>
<FONT color="green">039</FONT> * majority of applications. If for some reason you don't want your Realm implementation to perform authentication<a name="line.39"></a>
<FONT color="green">040</FONT> * duties, you should override the {@link #supports(org.apache.shiro.authc.AuthenticationToken)} method to always<a name="line.40"></a>
<FONT color="green">041</FONT> * return &lt;tt&gt;false&lt;/tt&gt;.<a name="line.41"></a>
<FONT color="green">042</FONT> *<a name="line.42"></a>
<FONT color="green">043</FONT> * &lt;p&gt;Because every application is different, security data such as users and roles can be<a name="line.43"></a>
<FONT color="green">044</FONT> * represented in any number of ways. Shiro tries to maintain a non-intrusive development philosophy whenever<a name="line.44"></a>
<FONT color="green">045</FONT> * possible - it does not require you to implement or extend any &lt;tt&gt;User&lt;/tt&gt;, &lt;tt&gt;Group&lt;/tt&gt; or &lt;tt&gt;Role&lt;/tt&gt;<a name="line.45"></a>
<FONT color="green">046</FONT> * interfaces or classes.<a name="line.46"></a>
<FONT color="green">047</FONT> *<a name="line.47"></a>
<FONT color="green">048</FONT> * &lt;p&gt;Instead, Shiro allows applications to implement this interface to access environment-specific datasources<a name="line.48"></a>
<FONT color="green">049</FONT> * and data model objects. The implementation can then be plugged in to the application's Shiro configuration.<a name="line.49"></a>
<FONT color="green">050</FONT> * This modular technique abstracts away any environment/modeling details and allows Shiro to be deployed in<a name="line.50"></a>
<FONT color="green">051</FONT> * practically any application environment.<a name="line.51"></a>
<FONT color="green">052</FONT> *<a name="line.52"></a>
<FONT color="green">053</FONT> * &lt;p&gt;Most users will not implement the &lt;tt&gt;Realm&lt;/tt&gt; interface directly, but will extend one of the subclasses,<a name="line.53"></a>
