Hi all,

	Couple of comments re JSR 155 :

|      - how does this relate to JSR155?
|          - not clear, as JSR155 work had stalled, but is alleged to be
getting back on track shortly
<KS>
	Actually very very shortly :o)
</KS>
|          - the most interesting thing JSR155 could do is take a SAML
|            assertion apart and to semantically interesting things
<KS>
	Am all ears on this. Would appreciate more thoughts in a private
e-mail.
</KS>
|          - the least interesting thing JSR155 could do is the actual
|            sending and receiving of SAML protocol messages, which
should
|            come easily from a WSDL doc
<KS>
	What does this mean ? The question of WSDL for SAML itself is a
challenging proposition. SAML by nature would be embedded in a higher
level interaction. So what would WSDL for SAML describe ? 
</KS>
|          - stalling within JSR155 could have been from all early
proposals being centered on the exchange of samlp messages, which
doesn't offer as much value
<KS>
	No comments ;o) If so, what value could WSDL bring and how would
one translate the exchange to Java ?
</KS>

cheers
