/**
 * This ClientAuthContext class manages AuthModules that may be used
 * to secure requests made as a client.  A caller typically uses this class
 * in the following manner:
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li> Retrieve an instance of this class via AuthConfig.getClientAuthContext.
 * <li> Invoke secureRequest.
 *	<br>
 *	ClientAuthContext implementation invokes configured plug-in modules.
 *	Modules attach credentials to initial request object
 *	(for example, a username and password), and/or secure the request
 *      (for example, sign and encrypt the request).
 * <li> Issue request.
 * <li> Receive response and pass it to validateResponse.
 *	<br>
 *	ClientAuthContext implementation invokes configured plug-in modules.
 *	Modules verify or decrypt response as necessary.
 * <li> The disposeSubject method may be invoked if necessary
 *	to clean up any authentication state in the Subject.
 * </ol>
 * 
 * <p> An instance may reuse module instances it
 * previously created. As a result a single module instance may be used
 * to issue different requests as different clients.
 * It is the module implementation's responsibility to properly
 * store and restore any necessary state.  A module that does not need
 * to do so may remain completely stateless.
 *
 * <p> Instances of this class have custom logic to determine
 * what modules to invoke, and in what order.  In addition,
 * this custom logic may control whether subsequent modules are invoked
 * based on the success or failure of previously invoked modules.
 *
 * <p> The caller is responsible for passing in a state Map
 * that can be used by underlying modules to save state across
 * a sequence of calls from <code>secureRequest
 * to <code>validateResponse to disposeSubject.
 * The same Map instance must be passed to all methods in the call sequence.
 * Furthermore, each call sequence should be passed its own unique
 * shared state Map instance.
 *
