Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Plug-in Architecture

As the first step, Timothy studies the architecture of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Plug-ins.

In order to implement the secure crawling and accessing of private information, Oracle Secure Enterprise Search has introduced a comprehensive plug-in architecture. Timothy studies the architecture in detail, so that he can tailor the critical security components to the characteristics of the particular datastore for which he needs to provide access.

The diagram shows how the various plug-ins fit into the overall Secure Enterprise Search architecture.

All plug-ins are written in the Java language. They must confirm to the APIs provided by Oracle. They are implemented as JAR files which must be placed in the appropriate directory within the Secure Enterprise Search file hierarchy.
