XML Agent Content Helper API Services

The XML Agent Content Helper API provides agents with a set of services that supplement those provided by the CA SiteMinder Agent API to allow the development of sophisticated, secure, and robust XML-enabled agents. Building an XML-enabled agent involves using these services:

• Web service resource identification
• XML message credential extraction
• XML message variable resolution
• XML message response application
• XML message header and body retrieval
• XML message header and body content change notification

You will also require the following services provided by the CA SiteMinder Agent API:

• Session Services
• Authorization Services
• Auditing Services and Transaction Tracking
• Management Services (key encryption, cache updates)
• Tunnel Services

Note: For more information on the services provided by the CA SiteMinder Agent API, see the SiteMinder Web Access Manager Programming Guide for Java.
