The SDK Packages

The SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services SDK includes the following packages:

• com.sun.identity.saml2.assertion Package

• com.sun.identity.saml2.common Package

• com.sun.identity.saml2.protocol Package

For more information, see the Sun Java System SAMLv2 Plug-in for Federation Services Java API Reference.

You can also extract and view the SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services Java API Reference internally. Change to the /AccessManager-base/product-directory/saml2/docs directory on Access Manager or the /FederationManager-base/SUNWam/saml2/docs directory on Federation Manager and extract saml2_public_javadocs.jar to your web container. The Java API Reference can then be viewed using a web browser.
