[Previously sent to Suhail directly, posted here for archival purposes] Suhail "I understand that Runtime implementation does have a large responsibility for authentication related services. While the AgletContext seems to be responsible for authroization" This is a very valuable insight. Does one or the other seem to have much in the way of class loader responsibility? I know that much of the instability of the Client API is due to class loader issues. My preliminary investigation indicates that there are a couple classes whose names begin with ResourceManager that seem to encapsulate the class loader coordination and it is perhaps true that a new resource manager is created for each code base? "I will write up a proposal for a new permission editor. What I upto is to spice our old venerable tahiti. Before I do that I need to finish this poking around and the UML model I had promised... I guess the firt thing to do then is to write up on how A2E (Authentication/Authorization/Encryption) is done. " That sounds like a pretty big plate of to-dos, but I am looking forward to any docs you create :). "You sure you want me to [post and analyze code on the list] ;-)" Sure. The more traffic on this list, the better. Actual slices of code and commentary should help spur contributions. Tom |
