/**
 * <p>The GSSManager class is an abstract class that serves as a factory
 * for three GSS interfaces: {@link GSSName}, {@link GSSCredential}, and
 * {@link GSSContext}. It also provides methods for applications to determine
 * what mechanisms are available from the GSS implementation and what
 * nametypes these mechanisms support. An instance of the default GSSManager
 * subclass may be obtained through the static method {@link #getInstance()},
 * but applications are free to instantiate other subclasses of GSSManager.</p>
 *
 * <p>All but one method in this class are declared abstract. This means
 * that subclasses have to provide the complete implementation for those
 * methods. The only exception to this is the static method {@link
 * #getInstance()} which will have platform specific code to return an
 * instance of the default subclass.</p>
 *
 * <p>Platform providers of GSS are required not to add any constructors to
 * this class, private, public, or protected. This will ensure that all
 * subclasses invoke only the default constructor provided to the base
 * class by the compiler.</p>
 *
 * <p>A subclass extending the GSSManager abstract class may be implemented
 * as a modular provider based layer that utilizes some well known
 * service provider specification. The GSSManager API provides the
 * application with methods to set provider preferences on such an
 * implementation. These methods also allow the implementation to throw
 * a well-defined exception in case provider based configuration is not
 * supported. Applications that expect to be portable should be aware of
 * this and recover cleanly by catching the exception.</p>
 *
 * <p>It is envisioned that there will be three most common ways in which
 * providers will be used:</p>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>The application does not care about what provider is used (the
 * default case).</li>
 *
 * <li>The application wants a particular provider to be used
 * preferentially, either for a particular mechanism or all the
 * time, irrespective of mechanism.</li>
 *
 * <li>The application wants to use the locally configured providers
 * as far as possible but if support is missing for one or more
 * mechanisms then it wants to fall back on its own provider.</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>The GSSManager class has two methods that enable these modes of
 * usage: {@link #addProviderAtFront(java.security.Provider,org.ietf.jgss.Oid)}
 * and {@link #addProviderAtEnd(java.security.Provider,org.ietf.jgss.Oid)}.
 * These methods have the effect of creating an ordered list of
 * (<i>provider</i>, <i>oid</i>) pairs where each pair indicates a preference
 * of provider for a given oid.</p>
 *
 * <p>The use of these methods does not require any knowledge of whatever
 * service provider specification the GSSManager subclass follows. It is
 * hoped that these methods will serve the needs of most applications.
 * Additional methods may be added to an extended GSSManager that could
 * be part of a service provider specification that is standardized
 * later.</p>
 *
 * <h3>Example Code</h3>
 *
 * <pre>
GSSManager mgr = GSSManager.getInstance();

// What mechs are available to us?
Oid[] supportedMechs = mgr.getMechs();

// Set a preference for the provider to be used when support is needed
