Subject: Re: [soa-rm] Identity (Was RE: [soa-rm] Good Recent SOA Piece: "Managing an XML Data Model In Your SOA - Best Practices")


Joe,

The expedia example is a great one.  System architectures deal with  
this kind of issue by having a default pseudo-principal that is  
passed around or assumed in the absence of a  "real" principle.  As  
important as identity is to most of the enterprise architectures that  
I encounter on a daily basis, I really am not convinced that the  
concept belongs in the RM as a core concept.  I wouldn't cry into my  
beer if it was mentioned in passing...just not up there in lights  
with "Services" and "Policy".
