| <p>This package contains <code>Realm</code> implementations for the |
| various supported realm technologies for authenticating users and |
| identifying their associated roles. The <code>Realm</code> that is |
| associated with a web application's <code>Context</code> (or a hierarchically |
| superior Container) is used to resolve authentication and role presence |
| questions when a web application uses container managed security as described |
| in the Servlet API Specification.</p> |
| |
| <p>The implementations share a common base class that supports basic |
| functionality for all of the standard <code>Realm</code> implementations.</p> |
