Subject: RE: [xacml-users] Re: Addendum: Re: Hierarchical resources policy and request file
Hierarchical resource profile (non-XML), as it is specified, is just one example on how an attribute based policy target and inheritance may be structured. It will work with XACML 1.1. It covers one, fairly typical case for inheritance. As Anne suggested, there are many other way to structure your environment/resource attributes to allow other way to apply policy.

Hierarchical resource profile, I believe is part of XACML 2.0 implenmentation. Will your solution work with XACML 1.1 implementation ? Do you strongly recommend me using XACML 2.0 ? I still writing an alternative way in a notepad.I will send once i have it thought through.
