/**
 * AccessAdapter is an internal, environment-specific component which knows how to execute PrivilegedActions.
 * A common way to execute a PrivilegedAction is to call:
 *  *   Subject.doAs(subject, action);
 * 
 * However, some containers require a different way of executing the PrivilegedActions. For example, WLS mandates
 * using its subject stack:
 *  *   weblogic.security.Security.runAs(subject, action);
 * 
 * This interface is used as an abstraction that allows the caller not to know the details of the environment-
 * specific execution.
