External Application Requirements for NIC

If you write an external application to use NIC to perform a resolution, you can include NIC functionality in one of the following ways:

  • For non-Java applications, use the interface module NicAccess, an IDL file that provides access to the NIC locator feature. The NIC locator can resolve the value of one or more keys.
  • For Java applications, include the NIC proxy client libraries to use NIC in client/server mode.
  • For Java applications, include the NIC proxy client libraries and the NIC host client libraries to use NIC in local host mode.
