The Nesstar Software Development Kit (SDK) supports the development of client applications for the Nesstar system.

The Nesstar Software Development Kit (SDK) contains:

• the Nesstar API
• the Nesstar Test suite

What versions of Java are supported?

The SDK is compatible with Java 1.3.X and Java 1.4.X.

Installing the SDK

The SDK is distributed as a single zip file: nesstar_sdk.zip.

The distribution contains the following Nesstar jars:

Name	Contents
nesstar_api.jar	Basic API code plus proxy classes for all the supported models.
nesstar_test.jar	Test suite (not included in this release)

And the following supporting libraries:

Nesstar API Jars for Java 1.3+

Name	Contents
commons-httpclient.jar	Jakarta HttpClient
commons-logging.jar	Jakarta Logging
commons-io.jar	Jakarta IO
datax.jar	DATAX RDF parser (in the future this will be replaced by automatically generated parsing code and/or the Jena parser)
parser.jar	Sun SAX Parser (the API can be configured to use a different SAX compliant parser)

Both the Nesstar and the supporting libraries will need to be in your client application classpath.

If you using Java 1.3 rather than 1.4+ and you want to access Nesstar objects through HTTPS you will also need:

Additional Nesstar API Jars for Java 1.3 only

Name	Function
jsse.jar	SSL Support
jnet.jar	Support library for jsse.jar
