Interface UserDetails

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

User

public interface UserDetails
extends Serializable

User details to store user information accessed by the UserManager and SecurityManager.

This allows non-security related user information (such as email addresses, telephone numbers etc) to be stored in a convenient location.

Concrete implementations must take particular care to ensure the non-null contract detailed for each method is enforced.

Concrete implementations should be immutable (value object semantics, like a String). This is because the UserDetails will be stored in caches and as such multiple threads may use the same instance.
