JAXRS is not part of webprofile? was in EE 7 so should be in EE 8 IMHO.
Anyway back to security: the usage of jaspic is IMO a blocker, not
integrated to CDI, not natural, and needs a lot of "tool" code to work
(Arjan samples are great to realize it), so if EE security wants to use
jaspic it should hide all that (and nicely make it not mandatory by that
track, but that's just a nice side effect ;)). Said otherwise I kind of
worry that to be usable we need omnifaces or a soteria tool module - not
saying they are bad but that the entry cost is way too high.
Concerning the "is SE in scope" I'm not sure but if you rephrase is "is not
HTTP in scope" then it should be by design cause EE has concurrency
utilities, jbatch, @Asynchronous, @Schedule etc... which can use security
either by propagation or by direct late invocation. A very high part of
these usages will not work with HTTP (note the propagation will be crucial
and should be spec-ed at EE level to avoid a usage mess). If it is bridged
and user still relies on HttpAuthenticationMechanism then the API is still
unatural, will need mocking (which rarely helps to understand it) and will
still require this state and protocol handling which will makes the
adoption step way higher than it should be IMHO.
For all these doubts I don't think we are ready to be prime time so full
profile only is saner for this release until a huge amount of work is done.
Side note 1: mvnrepository stats are limited which means they can't be use
to check adoption (ex: deltaspike security api is more the ~ 2600 download
*last month*). This fully ignore ("normally") the company frameworks which
are nuuuummmeeerous for security and all end user applications.
Side note 2: not sure how polls help, think we should rather try on real
application the API to see how it fits and what's the gap cause polls are
really biaised, in particular on tweeter where network are partial until
you hit 100k followers for most person retweeting.
