Execute an Active Expression

When SiteMinder detects an active expression that references a custom Java class, it performs the following tasks:

• Loads the shared library and instance of the custom Java class specified in the active expression.
• Calls the library function specified in the active expression.
• Passes to the instance of the custom Java class the optional parameter string plus the following context objects:
  • APIContext
  • RequestContext
  • UserContext
• The instance of the Java class performs the custom functionality and returns a result to SiteMinder. Results are returned from the custom Java class’s invoke() method.
