Interface AuthFunctionBean
- All Known Implementing Classes: 
- HsqldbSlaveAuthBean, JaasAuthBean, LdapAuthBean

N.b. AuthFunctionBeans are NOT directly usable as HyperSQL Authentication
 Function methods, they are POJO beans to be managed by AuthBeanMultiplexer
 (which does have a real HyperSQL Authentication Function static method).
- Since:
- 2.0.1

                      throws Exception
- Return a list of authorized roles or null to indicate that the
 implementation does not intend to produce a specific role list but only
 to indicate whether to allow access or not.
 A return value of String[0] is different from returning null, and means
 that the user should not be granted any roles.
 
- 
- Returns:
- null or String[] according to the contract of HyperSQL
         authentication function contract, except that the role/schema
         list is returned as a String[] instead of a java.sql.Array.
- Throws:
- Exception- If user should not be allowed access to the specified
         database.  Other registed AuthFunctionBeans will not be attempted.
- RuntimeException- Upon system problem.  The exception will be
         logged to the HyperSQL application logger and other registered
         AuthFunctionBeans (if any) will be attempted.
