SubjectDAO

A {@code SubjectDAO} is responsible for persisting a Subject instance's internal state such that the Subject instance can be recreated at a later time if necessary. <p/> Shiro's default {@code SecurityManager} implementations typically use a {@code SubjectDAO} in conjunction with a {@link SubjectFactory}: after the {@code SubjectFactory} creates a {@code Subject} instance, the {@code SubjectDAO} is used to persist that subject's state such that it can be accessed later if necessary. <h3>Usage</h3> It should be noted that this component is used by {@code SecurityManager} implementations to manage Subject state persistence. It does <em>not</em> make Subject instances accessible to the application (e.g. via {@link hunt.shiro.SecurityUtils#getSubject() SecurityUtils.getSubject()}).

Functions

remove
void remove(Subject subject)

Removes any persisted state for the specified {@code Subject} instance. This is a remove operation such that the Subject's state will not be accessible at a later time.

save
Subject save(Subject subject)

Persists the specified Subject's state for later access. If there is a no existing state persisted, this persists it if possible (i.e. a create operation). If there is existing state for the specified {@code Subject}, this method updates the existing state to reflect the current state (i.e. an update operation).
