# OHF Core Framework
#####################
Components
----------
Security, Resource Manager, Messaging
Contribution Description:
-------------------------
Basic OHF security framework with an initial IHE ATNA-compatible
implementation and support for JAAS-compatible authentication modules.
Most
OHF applications and plug-ins will be required to extend this plugin.
The Resource Manager provides a consistent service invocation
interface to
applications and other OHF Core components. CTS, Consistent Time and
Document Digital Signature are among the plugins that will extend this
plugin.
The initial implementation of Messaging component provides support for
exchanging messages with integrated security, privacy and delivery
features
based on emerging healthcare standards (including message exchange
patterns
and semantics). It uses underlying transport mechanisms from other
resources, such as Web Services, SMTP and file-based transport of SOAP
messages. Applications or components interacting with servers or
web-hosted
services can use this framework and its services by extension. OHF
subprojects requiring such messaging services include the IHE ATNA, XDS,
XUA, Notification and PIX actors. Some of the existing communication
functionality of the OHF implementations of these actors will be
refactored
to use the OHF Messaging API.
