The XML Agent Content Helper API for Java supplements the CA SiteMinder Agent API for Java. A custom agent that is built using these two APIs can protect any URL-bound application (such as a Web service), performing the following functions on XML messages posted to that application:
To build custom XML-enabled agents you need to intersperse functions from the two APIs to provide the necessary functionality.
This section provides brief information about the classes in the Java XML Agent API. Reference information on all the classes and methods can be found in the Javadoc.
The primary point of access to the Java Agent API is the IContentHelper interface, implemented by ContentHelperService and contained in the package com.netegrity.tm.contenthelper.api.
