Example: com.ibm.wsspi.security.token.AuthenticationToken implementation

Use this file to see an example of a AuthenticationToken implementation. The following sample code does not extend an abstract class, but rather implements the com.ibm.wsspi.security.token.AuthenticationToken interface directly. You can implement the interface directly, but it might cause you to write duplicate code. However, you might choose to implement the interface directly if there are considerable differences between how you handle the various token implementations.

For information on how to implement a custom AuthenticationToken, see Implementing a custom AuthenticationToken.
