Apache Shiro 1.2.5 API

Packages

Package	Description
org.apache.shiro	This package primarily exists as a root classpath distinction, but it does contain two core classes widely used by applications, SecurityUtils and ShiroException.
org.apache.shiro.aop	Components used to support the framework's AOP/interception support classes.
org.apache.shiro.aspectj	AspectJ support for enabling dynamic authorization using Shiro's annotations.
org.apache.shiro.authc	Core interfaces and exceptions concerning Authentication (the act of logging-in).
org.apache.shiro.authc.credential	Support for validating credentials (such as passwords or X509 certificates) during authentication via the CredentialsMatcher interface and its supporting implementations.
org.apache.shiro.authc.pam	Support for PAM, or Pluggable Authentication Modules, which is the capability to authenticate a user against multiple configurable (pluggable) modules (Shiro calls these Realms).
org.apache.shiro.authz	Core interfaces and exceptions supporting Authorization (access control).
org.apache.shiro.authz.annotation	Annotations used to restrict which classes, instances, or methods may be accessed or invoked depending on the caller's access abilities or authentication state.
org.apache.shiro.authz.aop	Contains AOP implementation support classes specifically used for authorization operations, particularly supporting AOP Method Interceptors and JSR-175 metadata Annotations.
org.apache.shiro.authz.permission	Support and default implementations for Shiro's Permission interface.
org.apache.shiro.cache	Caching support used to enhance performance for any security operation.
org.apache.shiro.cache.ehcache	Ehcache-based implementations of Shiro's cache interfaces.
org.apache.shiro.cas
org.apache.shiro.codec	Components for encoding and decoding of data across multiple formats, especially useful in Shiro's cryptography and web functionality.

org.apache.shiro.config	Components that support configuring Shiro in any application.
org.apache.shiro.crypto	Cryptography Cipher and Hashing components that greatly simplify the JDK's cryptography concepts and add additional convenient behavior.
org.apache.shiro.crypto.hash	Cryptographic Hashing components that greatly simplify one-way data hashing in an application.
org.apache.shiro.crypto.hash.format
org.apache.shiro.dao	Package containing various components useful when building Data Access Objects (DAOs), including a generic Data Access Exception hierarchy.
org.apache.shiro.env	Concepts used to represent Shiro's aggregate state in an application.
org.apache.shiro.functor	Package containing functor components used for data translation or conversion.
org.apache.shiro.guice
org.apache.shiro.guice.aop
org.apache.shiro.guice.web
org.apache.shiro.io	Support for reading and writing (input/output) raw data from multiple resource locations.
org.apache.shiro.jndi	Enables accessing objects located in JNDI that might be useful when configuring a Shiro-enabled application.
org.apache.shiro.ldap
org.apache.shiro.mgt	Provides the master SecurityManager interface and a default implementation hierarchy for managing all aspects of Shiro's functionality in an application.
org.apache.shiro.realm	Components and sub-packages used in supporting the core Realm interface.
org.apache.shiro.realm.activedirectory	Realms that acquire security data from a Microsoft Active Directory.
org.apache.shiro.realm.jdbc	Realms that acquire security data from an RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) using the JDBC API.
org.apache.shiro.realm.jndi	Support for acquiring Realms from JNDI, particularly useful for configuring Shiro in JEE or EJB environments.
org.apache.shiro.realm.ldap	Realms that acquire security data from an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server utilizing LDAP/Naming APIs.
org.apache.shiro.realm.text	Realms that acquire security data from text-based data sources such as Files or text streams.
org.apache.shiro.session	Components related to managing sessions, the time-based data contexts in which a Subject interacts with an application.
org.apache.shiro.session.mgt	SessionManager components supporting enterprise session management.
org.apache.shiro.session.mgt.eis	EIS (Enterprise Information System)-tier components that can perform CRUD operations for sessions using any EIS API.
org.apache.shiro.session.mgt.quartz	Quartz-based implementations of components that help SessionManager implementations maintain sessions (timed expiration, orphan cleanup, etc).
org.apache.shiro.spring	Spring Application Framework support for enabling Shiro in spring applications.
org.apache.shiro.spring.aop
org.apache.shiro.spring.remoting	Support to enable Spring-based remote method invocations to carry a Shiro session ID as part of the invocation payload, allowing remote clients to perform security operations.
org.apache.shiro.spring.security.interceptor	Spring AOP support for enabling Shiro annotations in Spring-configured applications.
org.apache.shiro.spring.web	Spring-specific components for use in Spring-based web applications.
org.apache.shiro.subject	Components supporting the Subject interface, the most important concept in Shiro's API.
org.apache.shiro.subject.support	Concrete support implementations of most of the org.apache.shiro.subject interfaces.
org.apache.shiro.tools.hasher
org.apache.shiro.util	Your run-of-the-mill 'util' pacakge for components and logic widely used across the framework that can't find their home into a proper OO hierarchy (or, most likely for things used across many hierarchies).
org.apache.shiro.web	Shiro's web support module to support security in any web-enabled application.
org.apache.shiro.web.config	Web-specific implementation extensions to the org.apache.shiro.config components.

org.apache.shiro.web.filter.authz	Servlet Filter implementations that perform authorization (access control) checks based on the Subject's abilities (for example, role or permission checks).
org.apache.shiro.web.filter.mgt	The filter 'mgt' (management) package contains components used in managing Filters that are available for filter chain construction, the filter chains themselves, as well as resolving filter chains based by name.
