Overview
The i-card manager provides users with a web-based management interface to the user's I-Cards and underlying context data (if any). This app is accessed by pressing a button (currently a Higgins mouse icon/button) that is added to the browser's toolbar. From a browser, users select from these i-cards to manage it.
In essence, the org.eclipse.higgins.icm consists of a front-end user Web site, which provides a face to its users, and a back-end WS client, which accesses the I-Card Service.
This application provides the Web pages that let users select, create or update i-cards. The Web site application is responsible for coordinating all activities necessary to manage user's i-cards.
