SAS is a service which provides support functions for other services. It provides a reliable, redundant server to answer service binding requests, and codebase download requests.
Applications upload codebase files into SAS. SAS provides a corresponding URL which can be used in Netlet descriptors to download the file.
Service binding requests may be handled either using static data registered with SAS, or, for more dynamic situations, a listener may be registered to provide the binding data.
