Interface SessionValidationFilterChain

public interface SessionValidationFilterChain

This interface is used to call the next element in the session validation filter chain. A reference is passed to the SessionValidationFilter SPI. If an implementation of this SPI calls this method, the corresponding method of the next SessionValidationFilter implementation as defined in the session validation filter chain (as a property of the Portal Authentication Service) is called. NOTE: This API may only be used in the scope of an HTTP request in WebSphere Portal, i.e. within a theme. The API can not be invoked directly by a custom servlet.
