PrefaceThe Sun OpenSSO Enterprise Policy Agent software consists of J2EE (Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition) agents and web agents. This Sun OpenSSO Enterprise Policy Agent 3.0 User's Guide for J2EE Agents provides an overview of how J2EE agents work in the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise Policy Agent 3.0 release. This guide focuses on the features and tasks that apply to all J2EE agents. Note – This guide also provides an appendix that compares web agents and J2EE agents. See Appendix A, Comparing Web Agents and J2EE Agents in Policy Agent 3.0.
