Package com.mentata.sg8 Description

Secure web interface to component directory services.

SG8 is an acronym for servlet gateway. SG8 extends the context, object, and attribute classes of the L3D package to create web-based directory applications with basic data management functionality. The system operates on a single sign-on (SSO) model that leverages session management. The package includes servlets for retrieving, creating, deleting, updating, and linking directory entries, which together operate in conjunction with beans and default or custom JSP content to enforce a model-view-controller (MVC) design paradigm. A rich set of attribute types are available to accomodate various forms of data values or associations, and results can be output in multiple formats: HTML, delimited text, LDIF, and DSML. URLs matching an intuitive grammar can serve as entry points into the gateway functions, actions on specific entries, or complete catalogs.
