/**
 * A static class for creating SASL clients and servers.
 *<p>
 * This class defines the policy of how to locate, load, and instantiate
 * SASL clients and servers. 
 *<p>
 * For example, an application or library gets a SASL client by doing
 * something like:
 *<blockquote><pre>
 * SaslClient sc = Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms,
 *     authorizationId, protocol, serverName, props, callbackHandler);
 *</pre></blockquote>
 * It can then proceed to use the instance to create an authentication connection.
 *<p>
 * Similarly, a server gets a SASL server by using code that looks as follows:
 *<blockquote><pre>
 * SaslServer ss = Sasl.createSaslServer(mechanism,
 *     protocol, serverName, props, callbackHandler);
 *</pre></blockquote>
