Minutes from October 1, 2009 Conference Call

From OpenLiberty.org Wiki

Attendees - Hal Lockhart, Prateek Mishra, Rich Levinson, Phil Hunt, Josh Bregman, Andrei Kapisnikovs

1. Can we coordinate the sourceforge and openliberty mailing lists?

decision - for now we will use - openliberty mailing lists - sourceforge bug tracker

2. Josh describes thin wrapper around AzApi for PEP layer

(a) macros for common cases without exposing generics/enums

(b) mapping layer from java objects to AzApi

(c) stateful re-use of request context - how to use request context times with the same subject and environment variables - this is also Ray's use-case.

The idea is to model this on existing pep for servlets or jsf

3. For now we will focus on standardizing AzApi in XACML TC - we can take up standardizing the PEP layer next.

4. AMF, Needed attribute, PIP, CARML/ArisID - how do they work together? - deferred for now - its an important issue we need to come back to

5. Phil - we need to be concerned that all libraries used by the project are Apache. But when third-parties uptake our product they may prefer other libraries. We need to use interfaces that allow for third-party substitution of libraries (replacing the Apache libraries that we will use).

6. Josh - class loader issues - class collision or incompatibility. What about the use of Spring? or OSGI?

- deferred for now

7. If you look at OpenSSO or openDS - use non-CDDL libraries for testing but they distribute only components under CDDL. Can we follow this model for test work?

- needs further investigation
