Don't Stop Believin' in the OpenSSO Public Javadoc

I was contacted by an OpenSSO engineer last week who wanted to know where she could get the latest Java API Reference documentation - that's the real name for the untrademarked Javadoc. I was surprised at the request because I thought anyone who was anyone in the community knows that the Java API Reference is available in the nightly build (and has been for a while). So, for others who might not know, here is how to open and display the public Java API Reference from opensso.zip.

  1. Download opensso.zip.
  2. Decompress opensso.zip.
    The files are unzipped into the opensso directory.
  3. Change into the /opensso/docs directory.
  4. Decompress opensso-public-javadocs.jar.
    jar xvf opensso-public-javadocs.jar
  5. From a local browser, choose File -> Open File.
  6. Navigate to the docs folder from within the Open File window.
  7. Select index.html to open in the browser window.
    index.html is the public home page for the Java API Reference.
Because of the ease with which you can now access them, the Java API Reference will no longer be published as part of the documentation set for releases of OpenSSO. So remember this procedure!

How many thought I might be linking to Journey's Don't Stop Believing? I could've even used the version from Glee. Well, I'm not that predictable. (Note the spelling of believin'.) Here is Olivia Newton-John singing the tune that kept my spirits up as I failed two tests for my driver's license in 1975 and waited to take the third. I listened to this for days before that final test. I didn't stop believin', passed the third test and having been driving offensively ever since.
