Following are the deployment steps of WAM for Java Based Application:

Cross Identity WAM code for Java web applications includes two components, which includes:

ciwam.properties named properties file

The table contains the following information:

Copy the JAR file ciwamfilter.jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder of the target web application.

Access the target web application and locate the web.xml file in the target web application. Typically, web.xml must be in the WEB-INF folder. The following are the changes in the web.xml file:

<filter>

<filter-name>ciwamfilter</filter-name>

<filter-class>com.ilantus.CIWamFilter
