# PingAccess Agent SDK for Java

This document provides technical guidance for using the PingAccess Agent SDK for Java. Use this guide along with the Javadocs for the Java Agent API and sample source code to implement the PingAccess Agent Protocol in custom agents.

## Intended audience

Application developers and system administrators responsible for implementing a Java PingAccess agent should be familiar with Java software-development principles and practices.

The PingAccess Agent SDK for Java documentation describes the use of the Software Development Kit (SDK) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>A set of tools that allows a developer to build a custom application that integrates with or connects to a platform or service.\</p>
\</div>)* within a sample Java Servlet Filter.

## Additional documentation

The Java Agent API Javadocs provides detailed reference information for developers. After extracting the `pingaccess-agent-java-sdk-<version_number>.zip` package, you can access the Javadocs with a web browser by viewing the `<AGENT_SDK_JAVA_HOME>/apidocs/index.html` file.
