Implement the AssertionGeneratorPlugin Interface

The first step in creating a custom assertion generator plug-in is to implement the AssertionGeneratorPlugin interface. The following requirements apply to the implementation class:

• The implementation must provide a public default constructor method that contains no parameters.
• The implementation must be stateless, so that many threads can use a single plug-in class.
• The implementation must include a call to the customizeAssertion methods. You can overwrite the existing implementations of these methods as your requirements dictate. See the sample programs.
• The syntax requirements and use of the parameter string that is passed into the customizeAssertion method is the responsibility of the custom object.

Note: The folder federation_mgr_sdk_home\sample\com\ca\federation\sdk\plugin\sample includes two sample implementation classes.
