## Package javax.security.auth.callback

Interface Summary

CallbackHandler | An application implements a `CallbackHandler` and passes it to underlying security services so that they may interact with the application to retrieve specific authentication data, such as usernames and passwords, or to display certain information, such as error and warning messages.

Class Summary
ChoiceCallback | Underlying security services instantiate and pass a `ChoiceCallback` to the `handle()` method of a `CallbackHandler` to display a list of choices and to retrieve the selected choice(s).

NameCallback | Underlying security services instantiate and pass a `NameCallback` to the `handle()` method of a `CallbackHandler` to retrieve name information.
PasswordCallback | Underlying security services instantiate and pass a `PasswordCallback` to the `handle()` method of a `CallbackHandler` to retrieve password information.
TextInputCallback | Underlying security services instantiate and pass a `TextInputCallback` to the `handle()` method of a `CallbackHandler` to retrieve generic text information.
TextOutputCallback | Underlying security services instantiate and pass a `TextOutputCallback` to the `handle()` method of a `CallbackHandler` to display information messages, warning messages and error messages.
