J2SE[TM] XACML Policy Provider

[Anne Anderson <Anne.Anderson@Sun.com>]

My proposal for implementing a Java[TM] 2 Standard Edition
(J2SE[TM]) Policy Provider that will accept XACML policies as the
policy input can be found at

  http://research.sun.com/projects/xacml/J2SEPolicyProvider.html

This would provide a way for Java applications using the standard
Java Policy API to use XACML policies and all the good stuff that
comes along with XACML:

 o dynamic policies,
 o use of arbitrary Subject and target attributes
   independent of the application,
 o distributed policies,
 o policies shared between multiple applications,
 o policies shared between Java and non-Java applications,
 o role based access control, and
 o resource labels.

Comments are requested by the end of August 2003.
