Linda/all,
Thanks a lot for mentioning JSR 375.
One thing I'm curious from an Umbrella Java EE and Spec Lead point, is how
we should best handle annotations?
https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=375 mentions both
javax.security
javax.annotation.security
There was no single annotation under javax.security as of Java EE 7.
There could be other areas to add annotations later, but so far the
Security API already contains 2 new annotation packages
https://github.com/javaee-security-spec/security-api/
tree/master/src/main/java/javax/security/authentication/
mechanism/http/annotation
and
https://github.com/javaee-security-spec/security-api/
tree/master/src/main/java/javax/security/identitystore/annotation
Is it OK to define several new "annotation" packages like
javax.security.authentication.mechanism.annotation
javax.security.identitystore.annotation
...
or should they rather be under
javax.annotation.security
?
Kind Regards,
Werner Keil
