I'm extending the abstract class - so mention that. Also adding anonymous
You probably want anonymous, because without it, if you return null so that the listener does nothing, you'll get an exception from the AccessListener. This article is written more where you don't *force* auth in the authenticator, but then if a resource is protected, it of course requires it.
