Developing A New Data Service

In addition to deploying an employee profile service, the Liberty Employee Profile Service sample can be used as a guide to develop other custom data services based on the Liberty ID-WSF-DST. Sections 2 and 3 in the Readme.html file in the /AccessManager-base/SUNWam/samples/phase2/sis-ep directory has detailed steps on how to deploy and configure data services. To use those instructions for a new data service, you need to write a new data service schema. This schema [an XML Schema Definition (XSD) document that is described in Schema Files and Service Definition Documents] defines the service’s data and data structure. After you write a new XSD file, use the sample Readme.html to deploy your new data service instead of the lib-id-sis-ep.xsd file referred to in the instructions.

Instructions on writing an XSD file are beyond the scope of this guide.
