Jukka Zitting commented on OAK-91:
----------------------------------
Plugging in _non-JAAS_ authentication components was a bit complicated since
the JAAS {{LoginContext}} is not an interface but a class whose constructor
does some pretty tricky classloading magic that's hard to override when it's
not needed.
To solve this issue, in revision 1393038 I replaced the {{LoginContext}} return
value of the {{LoginContextProvider.getLoginContext()}} method with a new
{{OakLoginContext}} interface that simply duplicates all the methods of the
JAAS {{LoginContext}} class. A related {{JaasLoginContext}} class simply
implements this new interface using the JAAS {{LoginContext}} as a base class,
which keeps full compatibility with existing JAAS-based authentication
components.
