MessageDispatcher authentication failure listener methods

Hello Frank,

Is there any reason why addAuthenticationFailureListener/removeAuthenticationFailureListener methods are not part of MessageDispatcher interface? They exist in MessageDispatcherImpl only.

Regards,
Boris

Hello Boris,

There is no specific reason other than backward compatibility. I did not want to change the interface of MessageDispatcher in a minor release to add a convenience method. I probably forgot the add those methods to the MessageDisptacher interface in the 3.0 release. I will have to check that and schedule it for the 3.4.0 release.

Best regards,
Frank
