The process sam.jar, also known as Software Asset Management, is said to be the “license enforcement system” of a Business Rule Management System named JRules. JRules employs an environment of business rules management and distribution. The process file sam.jar is a jar file. A jar file is a Java Archive file format used to collect Java class files – files with extension *.class. a java class file contains a java byte code that can be run or executed with the use of a Java Virtual Machine or JVM. This process file also collects metadata which can either be structural or descriptive. A structural metadata is a “data container” of other data while a descriptive metadata is a “data content” of other data. The SAM process can be integrated in many of the business rule management concerns of JRules. As a jar file, it is a useful tool in making the software function well.
