Package org.apache.shiro.subject

package org.apache.shiro.subject

Components supporting the Subject interface, the most important concept in Shiro's API.

A Subject is the primary component when using Shiro programmatically for single-user security operations, and it is the handle to any accessible user security data. All single-user authentication, authorization and session operations are performed via a Subject instance.
