Oracle recently released a new website called http://samplecode.oracle.com where employees and Oracle Technology Network members collaboratively build and share sample applications, code snippets, skins and templates, and more. There are several applications which have been written by the Oracle IRM team that are not part of the supported Oracle IRM code base and yet play an important part in the deployment of IRM solutions.
One of the most commonly used applications is called "Hot Folders" which is an application that uses IRM web services to monitor a set of file system folders and automatically seal files copied or moved into them, to associated IRM classifications. This enables organizations to apply IRM consistently and effectively by leveraging the familiar metaphor of placing confidential files "in a safe place".
You can access the project at the sample code website here, note you need to have or create yourself a a free Oracle Technology Network account. This is the Java version of Hot Folders and i'll be uploading the Visual Basic version of this once i've done some sanity testing on the code base. There are other IRM projects in the works, so keep an eye out for some groovy new sample code and applications coming out this year.
