java.io.Serializable

public interface PrincipalAttributesRepository
extends java.io.Serializable

Defines operations required for retrieving principal attributes. Acts as a proxy between the external attribute source and CAS, executing such as additional processing or caching on the set of retrieved attributes. Implementations may simply decide to do nothing on the set of attributes that the principal carries or they may attempt to refresh them from the source, etc.
