Class CompositeAdvices

java.lang.Object

com.sun.identity.authentication.service.CompositeAdvices

public class CompositeAdvices
extends Object

This class allows the authentication services of OpenAM to decouple the advice handling mechanism of the agents. This allows user to introduce and manage custom advices by solely writing OpenAM server-side plug-ins. Users are not required to make changes on the agent side. Such advices are honored automatically by the composite advice handling mechanism. A benefit of composite advice is that you can incorporate a custom advice type without having to make changes to an agent deployment.
