Package Summary

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.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.concurrent	Executor, ExecutorService, and ScheduledExecutorService implementations for transparent Subject association with threads in an asynchronous execution environment.
org.apache.shiro.config
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.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.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.util	Your run-of-the-mill 'util' package 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).
