Interface	Description
HttpAuthenticationMechanism	HttpAuthenticationMechanism is a mechanism for obtaining a caller's credentials in some way, using the HTTP protocol where necessary.

HttpMessageContextWrapper	This class is an implementation of the HttpMessageContext interface that can be subclassed by developers wishing to provide extra or different functionality.

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
AutoApplySession	The AutoApplySession annotation provides an application the ability to declaratively designate that an authentication mechanism uses the jakarta.servlet.http.registerSession and auto applies this for every request.
BasicAuthenticationMechanismDefinition	Annotation used to define a container authentication mechanism that implements the HTTP basic access authentication protocol as defined by the Servlet spec (13.6.1) and make that implementation available as an enabled CDI bean.
CustomFormAuthenticationMechanismDefinition	Annotation used to define a container authentication mechanism that implements authentication resembling Servlet FORM authentication (Servlet spec 13.6.3).
FormAuthenticationMechanismDefinition	Annotation used to define a container authentication mechanism that implements FORM authentication as defined by the Servlet spec (13.6.3) and make that implementation available as an enabled CDI bean.
LoginToContinue	The LoginToContinue annotation provides an application the ability to declaratively add login to continue functionality to an authentication mechanism.
RememberMe	The RememberMe annotation provides an application the ability to declaratively designate that an authentication mechanism effectively "remembers" the authentication and auto applies this with every request.
