Use the SiperianClient library classes to build custom web services that interact with the MDM Hub. You can use the sample codes located in the following directory to build a custom web service:

<Resource Kit Installation Directory>\samples

.

Use the

process

method of the

com.siperian.sif.client.SiperianClient

class to implement the request and response interactions between the client program and the MDM Hub. The

process

method accepts any subclass of the

com.siperian.sif.message.SiperianRequest

class as an argument. If the

process

method successfully processes the request, it returns the

com.siperian.sif.message.SiperianResponse

object as the response. Otherwise, it returns the

com.siperian.sif.client.SiperianServerException

object.

The

com.siperian.sif.message.mrm

and

com.siperian.sif.message.hm

packages include the request and response objects to perform operations on the MDM Hub. The

com.siperian.sif.client

package manages the details of the client communication with the MDM Hub. You can use the access protocols, such as Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), XML over HTTP, or SOAP, to communicate with the MDM Hub.

The

siperian-api.jar

file located in the following directories contains all the SiperianClient library classes:

<Resource Kit Installation Directory>\sdk\sifsdk\lib
<MDM Hub Installation Directory>\hub\server\lib

When you use the SiperianClient library classes, ensure you also have all the dependent files. The

siperian-api.jar

file is dependent on the following JAR files:

siperian-common.jar

<Resource Kit Installation Directory>\sdk\sifsdk\lib
<MDM Hub Installation Directory>\hub\server\lib

informatica-bpm-adapter.jar

<Resource Kit Installation Directory>\sdk\sifsdk\lib
<MDM Hub Installation Directory>\hub\server\lib

siperian-server-pkiutil.jar

<Resource Kit Installation Directory>\sdk\sifsdk\lib
<MDM Hub Installation Directory>\hub\server\lib\pkiutils

If you run an external SIF client, you might also require other JAR files in the following directory:

<Resource Kit Installation Directory>\sdk\sifsdk\lib
