[Yanel-dev] Making the PolicyManager aware of realm specific usecases

[Michael Wechner]

Hi

We don't have a generic usecase registry yet and I guess it will take 
some more time to get there.

As an intermediate solution I would like to enhance the current 
PolicyManagerImplV2 that it can read some specific XML config as 
described below

from-scratch-realm-template michaelwechner$ svn diff realm.xml
Index: realm.xml
===================================================================
--- realm.xml    (revision 45915)
+++ realm.xml    (working copy)

   <ac-policies 
class="org.wyona.security.impl.PolicyManagerFactoryImplVersion2">config/ac-policies-repository.xml</ac-policies>
 
+<!-- NOTE: Not implemented yet! But as a proposal to make the 
PolicyManager aware of realm specific usecases.
+  <ac-policies 
class="org.wyona.security.impl.PolicyManagerFactoryImplVersion2">
+    <security:config 
xmlns:security="http//www.wyona.org/security/policy/2.1">config/ac-policies-repository.xml</security:config>
+    <security:usecases 
xmlns:security="http//www.wyona.org/security/policy/2.1">
+      <security:usecase>workflow.approve</security:usecase>
+      <security:usecase>workflow.publish</security:usecase>
+    </security:usecases>
+  </ac-policies>
+-->

This will have no effect on interfaces and is backwards compatible (but 
not forwards) and will give us some playing ground to better understand 
how we need to design a generic usecase registry.

Any comments/feedback very welcome


Cheers
