The SDI Project
To develop an Security Directory Integrator solution first create an SDI Project. A project in Eclipse is a collection of related files and resources.
When the project is created, it is populated with a few folders
where common configuration objects are located. The layout of a new SDI project is shown below.
The AssemblyLines folder contains the AssemblyLines of the project;
whereas the resources folder contains all components that are shared
or used by the AssemblyLines or apply to the solution in general:
properties, logging parameters and so forth. To create new resources
either use the File/New… wizard from the main
menu or use the context menus on each folder (that is, right-click
AssemblyLines folder to create a new AssemblyLine).
The Runtime directory (Runtime-ProjectName) is a special
directory that contains the runtime configuration file as well as
custom properties files. Whenever a component has changed in the project
(connector, AssemblyLine, property file and so forth) the relevant
files in this directory are also updated. All generated files are
tagged as derived files, which means that you get a warning if you
attempt to modify the contents. Be aware that if you do change any
of these files they will be overwritten. The intention with the runtime
directory is to create a directory of runtime files for the project
that can be copied, or checked out if you use source control, and
used by an SDI server.
