This method returns the PasswordCredential object, given the ManagedConnectionFactory, subject and the ConnectionRequestInfo. It first checks if the ConnectionRequestInfo is null or not. If it is not null, it constructs a PasswordCredential object with the user and password fields from the ConnectionRequestInfo and returns this PasswordCredential object. If the ConnectionRequestInfo is null, it retrieves the PasswordCredential objects from the Subject parameter and returns the first PasswordCredential object which contains a ManagedConnectionFactory, instance equivalent to the ManagedConnectionFactory, parameter.

Parameters:

mcf - ManagedConnectionFactory

subject - Subject

info - ConnectionRequestInfo

Returns:

PasswordCredential

Throws:

ResourceException - generic exception if operation fails

SecurityException - if access to the Subject instance is denied
