Subject: Re: [wsrp-wsia] [I#175] Roles should be per-Entity and not per-Producer
Just to reopen the role discussion: instead of thinking of refining the role support we should think of dropping it altogether. I summarized the reasons for this already in another email. One example reoccurs in Eilon's example - the producer that spans multiple web-apps in J2EE. For me this seems to apply that the producer would use the app's J2EE roles as WSRP roles. In this case I would also assume that after a WSRP call containing such role information a call like isUserInRole would work on the producer. However as no credentials are sent around this is impossible to implement. From my point of view it would be best to rely on WS-Security.

The current model only supports roles per Producer which works when the Producer is a centralized portal environment, but makes it much harder to manage and deploy changes in less controlled environment. For example, this means that if a development environment allows portlet developers to define custom roles per portlet (e.g., if one Producer may span multiple web-apps in J2EE), then the Producer must continuously accumulate all roles from all its portlets to present a coherent role list. And, the Consumer needs to sample that list more often to ensure that there are no changes. Another example is how would an application-level-WSRP-proxy support multiple services with different roles?
