javax.security.auth.login.ConfigurationSpi
This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
 for the 
Configuration class.
 All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each
 service provider who wishes to supply a Configuration implementation.
  Subclass implementations of this abstract class must provide
 a public constructor that takes a Configuration.Parameters
 object as an input parameter.  This constructor also must throw
 an IllegalArgumentException if it does not understand the
 Configuration.Parameters input.

engineRefreshprotected void engineRefresh()Refresh and reload the Configuration.This method causes this Configuration object to refresh/reload its contents in an implementation-dependent manner. For example, if this Configuration object stores its entries in a file, calling refreshmay cause the file to be re-read.The default implementation of this method does nothing. This method should be overridden if a refresh operation is supported by the implementation. - Throws:
- SecurityException- if the caller does not have permission to refresh its Configuration.
