## Interface Callback

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    AuthorizeCallback, ChoiceCallback, ConfirmationCallback, LanguageCallback, NameCallback, PasswordCallback, RealmCallback, RealmChoiceCallback, 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.
