Hi,
I need to write custom user interface that will cover part of Sun Identity Manager functions. I have following questions:
* Should I use Java and try to utilize API in JARs included with IDM?
* Or is it better to use SPML?
New, limited user interface will have only essential functions.

Hi,
it is ok to make your own GUI if you do it for the right reasons. I met people that said "I don't want to learn XPress, let's roll our own GUI in Java". If that is your reason you are wrong because even if you build your own GUI you will still have to work with XPress and Forms and Workflows because that is where the business logic and data transformation happens.
If the data to be displayed in your GUI does not fit into a webinterface build your own fat client(API, RemoteSession). If you have a portal like app and need minor things to be done from there use SPML.
