JXTA in a Nutshell

Name

Package net.jxta.credential

Synopsis

Classes in this package are used to interact with the membership service of a peergroup. A peergroup that wants to authenticate peers will set up a special membership service to perform the authentication. A peer passes an AuthenticationCredential object to the apply( ) method of the membership service in order to retrieve an Authenticator object; that object is then used to join the peergroup. The class hierarchy for this package is shown in Figure 9-2.
