## javax.security.auth.callback
Interface Callback

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AuthorizeCallback, ChoiceCallback, ConfirmationCallback, LanguageCallback, NameCallback, PasswordCallback, TextInputCallback, TextOutputCallback

public interface Callback

Implementations of this interface are passed to a `CallbackHandler`, allowing underlying security services the ability to interact with a calling application to retrieve specific authentication data such as usernames and passwords, or to display certain information, such as error and warning messages.

`Callback` implementations do not retrieve or display the information requested by underlying security services. `Callback` implementations simply provide the means to pass such requests to applications, and for applications, if appropriate, to return requested information back to the underlying security services.
