Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Federation and SAML Administration Guide

PAOS Binding API

The Access Manager implementation of PAOS binding includes a Java package named com.sun.identity.liberty.ws.paos. This package provides classes to parse a PAOS header, make a PAOS request, and receive a PAOS response.

Note –

This API is used by PAOS clients on the HTTP server side. An API for PAOS servers on the HTTP client side would be developed by the manufacturers of the HTTP client side products, for example, cell phone manufacturers.

The following table describes the available classes in com.sun.identity.liberty.ws.paos. For more detailed API documentation, see the Java API Reference in /AccessManager-base/SUNWam/docs or on docs.sun.com.
