1 Introduction

This guide covers all of the development topics relating to the Oracle IRM J2EE application (Oracle IRM Server).

The guide describes how to use the following:

• Web services. The Oracle IRM Web services, for example, include operations that allow content to be sealed and unsealed, contexts to be created and rights to be assigned.

• Java APIs. Certain operations, such as peeking the metadata of sealed content, can be performed using the IRM Java API.

• Status page customization. On-line Oracle IRM Desktop status pages can be customized allowing an organization to offer a branded or personal experience to the end users when working with sealed content.

Where appropriate, sample code is also provided.
