Class WAClient

java.lang.Object
  org.deegree.portal.wac.WAClient

public class WAClient
extends Object

The class offers methods to enable a using program/class to act as a client to a Web Security Service (WSS) as specified in GDI-NRW. This implementation just supports authentication through sessionIDs and user/password. If other authentication mechanisms are needed this class should be extended by defining additional performDoService methods.
