The Information Service enables you to do the following:
-
perform a combined search of all
repositories that a user has a connection to. The classes in the
Information Service package enable the creation of a single filter
that can search multiple repositories.
-
limit searches to a specific repository,
so that efficient searching can be achieved.
-
retrieve an item from a repository
using a URL, using a convenience method.
-
(in conjunction with the User Services
and the Authentication Service) authenticate users, create User Contexts,
locate servers that the user has access to, and create repository
definitions to use in making server connections.
