Hi,
The JCP will likely be putting JSR 375 up for a renewal ballot after
JavaOne. I think some other EE 8 specs are similarly up for renewal. I
have not been informed regarding what we need to provide, but as long as
our EG is reasonably active I think we will be fine.
Regarding the JCP EC F2F (i.e. Java Community Process Executive
Committee Face To Face), I have been given a slide template and I have
been filling it out. The focus of the review is more on how the EG is
following the process regarding transparency and participation
obligations, than on the technical details. I do not think a demo is needed.
Regarding the EDR, my understanding is that the EDR is a snapshot of our
progress. Of course, the more progress the better, and we can release
multiple EDRs. The currently published JSR-375 EDR date is Q4 2015, so I
see this as sometime in December.
For EDR, I would like to at least touch upon as many of the Epics as
possible:
* API for Identity Store
* API for Authentication Mechanism
* API for Password Aliasing
* API for Role/Permission Assignment
* API for Security Context
* API for Authorization Interceptors
I think Identity Store is well defined, with some open issues.
As for trying some of the proposals in the Hackergarten, I am not quite
sure what you mean. There are some interfaces and samples in the repo,
but not a lot of working code. I will probably be digging into the
proposals during the BOF.
JSR 375 will get some exposure:
* Presented at the JCP EC F2F
* Presented at a dedicated conference session
* Presented at a dedicated BOF
* Presented in slides on EE 8 at the Oracle Demo booth
* Represented in various EE 8 platform sessions
It would be nice to have something to demo. I guess I could demo a
JASPIC SAM using the CDI based Identity Store. Any ideas?
With regards,
Alex
