<DL>
<DD>Sets a VM (static) singleton SecurityManager, specifically for transparent use in the
<A HREF="../../../org/apache/shiro/SecurityUtils.html#getSubject()"><CODE>getSubject()</CODE></A> implementation.
<p/>
<b>This method call exists mainly for framework development support. Application developers should rarely,
if ever, need to call this method.</b>
<p/>
The Shiro development team prefers that SecurityManager instances are non-static application singletons
and <em>not</em> VM static singletons. Application singletons that do not use static memory require some sort
of application configuration framework to maintain the application-wide SecurityManager instance for you
(for example, Spring or EJB3 environments) such that the object reference does not need to be static.
<p/>
In these environments, Shiro acquires Subject data based on the currently executing Thread via its own
framework integration code, and this is the preferred way to use Shiro.
<p/>
However in some environments, such as a standalone desktop application or Applets that do not use Spring or
EJB or similar config frameworks, a VM-singleton might make more sense (although the former is still preferred).
In these environments, setting the SecurityManager via this method will automatically enable the
<A HREF="../../../org/apache/shiro/SecurityUtils.html#getSubject()"><CODE>getSubject()</CODE></A> call to function with little configuration.
<p/>
For example, in these environments, this will work:
<pre>
DefaultSecurityManager securityManager = new <A HREF="../../../org/apache/shiro/mgt/DefaultSecurityManager.html" title="class in org.apache.shiro.mgt"><CODE>DefaultSecurityManager</CODE></A>();
securityManager.setRealms( ... ); //one or more Realms
<b>SecurityUtils.setSecurityManager( securityManager );</b></pre>
<p/>
And then anywhere in the application code, the following call will return the application's Subject:
<pre>
Subject currentUser = SecurityUtils.getSubject();</pre>

throws <A HREF="../../../org/apache/shiro/UnavailableSecurityManagerException.html" title="class in org.apache.shiro">UnavailableSecurityManagerException</A></PRE>
<DL>
<DD>Returns the SecurityManager accessible to the calling code.
<p/>
This implementation favors acquiring a thread-bound <code>SecurityManager</code> if it can find one. If one is
not available to the executing thread, it will attempt to use the static singleton if available (see the
<A HREF="../../../org/apache/shiro/SecurityUtils.html#setSecurityManager(org.apache.shiro.mgt.SecurityManager)"><CODE>setSecurityManager</CODE></A> method for more on the static singleton).
<p/>
If neither the thread-local or static singleton instances are available, this method throws an
<code>UnavailableSecurityManagerException</code> to indicate an error - a SecurityManager should always be accessible
to calling code in an application. If it is not, it is likely due to a Shiro configuration problem.
