* This method conveys the outcome of its message processing either by returning an AuthStatus value or by throwing an

* be used to save state across a sequence of calls made to the methods of this interface for the purpose of completing
* a secure message exchange.
*
* @param clientSubject A Subject that represents the source of the service request, or null. It may be used by the
* method implementation as the source of Principals or credentials to be used to secure the request. If the Subject is
* not null, the method implementation may add additional Principals or credentials (pertaining to the source of the
* service request) to the Subject.
*
* @return An AuthStatus object representing the completion status of the processing performed by the method. The
* AuthStatus values that may be returned by this method are defined as follows:
*
* - AuthStatus.SUCCESS when the application request message was successfully secured. The secured request message may
* be obtained by calling getRequestMessage on messageInfo.
*
*
- AuthStatus.SEND_CONTINUE to indicate that the application request message (within messageInfo) was replaced with
* a security message that should elicit a security-specific response from the peer security system. This status value
* also indicates that the application message has not yet been secured.
*
* This status value serves to inform the calling runtime that (to successfully complete the message exchange) it will
* need to be capable of continuing the message dialog by conducting at least one additional request/response exchange
* after having received the security-specific response elicited by sending the security message.
*
* When this status value is returned, the corresponding invocation of
validateResponse must be able to
* obtain the original application request message.
*
* - AuthStatus.FAILURE to indicate that a failure occured while securing the request message, and that an appropriate
* failure response message is available by calling getResponseMessage on messageInfo.
*
*
* @exception AuthException When the message processing failed without establishing a failure response message (in
* messageInfo).
