Subject: Re: [xacml] XACML AzApi as part of F2F agenda


Wrt #3 below around Java interfaces --

I am not sure if XACML TC is the right forum to define Java APIs, especially when there are Java standard APIs already available and in use. JSR 115/JACC is sufficient in many cases - though it is written from container viewpoint, it is equally applicable to any type of enforcement points (even if it is apps). If there gaps that should be addressed in JACC, I think we should work that in. Those APIs are applicable to Java developers who can use it without any knowledge of XACML, or other means that a container may even provide. So it provides that level of abstraction as well.

[xacml] XACML AzApi as part of F2F agenda





I would like to request discussion of the XACML AzApi during the F2F, as
we continue to work to advance this towards standard status.

The API submission we made this past summer, has a number of features
would benefit from the TCs review -

1) Use of generics and a highly factored design to allow for new
categories and types of attributes. Is this adequate
to model the new materials in XACML 3.0 and other XACML use-cases?

2) A concept called "what is allowed" - which supports a limited but
extremely valuable form of scoped query against
access rules. One question is how this can be modeled or implemented in
the XACML 2.0/3.0 context

3) Based on experience with the open source and our internal review of
the API, we are planning to submit some additional
interfaces to the XACML TC within the next couple of weeks. The main
purpose of these interfaces is to allow Java developers with little
knowledge of XACML
to utilize the API. We would like to be able to describe these
interfaces in some detail to the TC, together with
the rationale for their introduction.

I would request the Chairs to allocate an hour and half for these
discussions, which would be led by Rich Levinson (he is out today - but
I thought
it important to get this message out to the chairs and TC).

Thanks,

- prateek
