The foundation of the application framework for the SAS Information Delivery Portal consists of two System Development Kits (SDKs) that are provided as part of the application.
These are the Enterprise Directory SDK and the SAS Portal SDK.
The components defined in an SDK are not limited to use in the middle
tier. For example, they could also be used in a Java application. As a
result, these components are not tied to any specific middle tier or
client tier implementation.
- Enterprise Directory SDK
The Enterprise Directory SDK is a collection of components, mainly
JavaBeans, that implement the following kinds of objects:
- enterprise entity
An enterprise entity represents a physical entity or concept that is
defined in the enterprise directory. Since enterprise entities represent
objects stored on a server, they support caching to improve performance.
- session object
A session object represents a concept or process that is only available
to the application it is running in. For example, a session object could
be used to sort an enterprise entity.
- service
A service is an object used to access a server.
The core interfaces, utilities and JavaBeans are documented
here.
- Portal SDK
The Portal SDK contains the classes used by the Portal Web
application. The core interfaces, utilities and JavaBeans are documented
here.
