Purpose of the Utilities Package

If you plan to call functions in the Policy Management API or the DMS API, you must use the functions in the Utilities package to build your Java application.

The SmApiConnection, SmApiResult, SmApiSession, SmApiException, and SmProperty classes in the Utilities package provide services such as:

• Establishing a connection to the Policy Server
• Obtaining a session
• Providing a result object that stores results of API requests
• Handling exceptions and results
• Encapsulating property data
