Re: [xacml-dev] Xacml with J2EE?

Argyn,

I have been working on a first step - integrating XACML with the
Java Policy API.  I've been side-tracked for quite a while by
XACML 2.0, but expect to get back to this soon.  The current spec
is at
http://research.sun.com/projects/xacml/J2SEPolicyProvider.html

I have learned a great deal since that spec was published, and
there are changes that need to be made, but the outline is still
valid.

Before you ask, no, we can not commit to an implementation of
this and can not commit to any availability dates.

If you have other ideas for how to integrate XACML with J2EE
apps, I would be very interested.
