Subject: Re: where's JACC provider implementation?

My apologies for the extremely late response, this appears to have  
been sent when my mail wasn't really working.  On the other hand in  
April JACC wasn't pluggable and it is now :-) (almost completely, I  
hope)

The default Geronimo JACC provider is in  
org.apache.geronimo.security.jacc in the  
GeronimoPolicyConfigurationFactory and PolicyConfigurationGeneric  
classes.  I suspect we should move these into a different package to  
make it clear they are the JACC provider rather than the  
infrastructure geronimo provides.  If you want to configure the JACC  
implementation with non-spec information from geronimo plans you will  
also need to write a builder similar to the  
o.a.g.security.deployment.GeronimoSecurityBuilderImpl that reads info  
from its own xml namespace.   If the non-spec information is intended  
to come from a different source (not geronimo plans) you won't need  
one of these builders.

I recently set up a skeleton example of how a JACC provider could be  
plugged in, http://www.nabble.com/TripleSec-Geronimo-integration- 
tf2444664.html#a6815690

It would be great to get another working JACC implementation  
installed, so if you have any questions how to proceed please ask!

thanks
