## org.apache.axis.security.servlet
Class ServletSecurityProvider

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.axis.security.servlet.ServletSecurityProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:
  SecurityProvider

public class ServletSecurityProvider
extends java.lang.Object
implements SecurityProvider

A ServletSecurityProvider, combined with the ServletAuthenticatedUser class, allows the standard servlet security mechanisms (isUserInRole(), etc.) to integrate with Axis' access control mechanism. By utilizing this class (which the AxisServlet can be configured to do automatically), authentication and role information will come from your servlet engine.
