Performing Risk Evaluation

When a user accesses your online application, the application forwards the request to RiskMinder for risk analysis. RiskMinder can evaluate risk for all users, whether they are first-time users (and therefore not "known" to RiskMinder) or if they are already enrolled with the RiskMinder system.

The Risk Evaluation Java API provides a programmable interface, which can be used by Java clients (such as Java Servlets and JSP pages) to send risk evaluation-related requests to RiskMinder Server. This API creates a request message that is sent to RiskMinder Server, receives the response, and packages it as return structures to be read by the client.

This section provides an overview of how to use the Java API to perform risk evaluation and the methods and interfaces it implements. A description of the API interfaces and methods used to list and delete associations in the RiskMinder database is also provided. Each risk evaluation-related and association management task description is followed by a sample code snippet that you can use in your code to perform the task. The section covers following topics:
