OpenXACML Status

[Nick Duan]

Is there any interest from the Shiv Dev community to start/re-start the
OpenXACML project?  I was involved in a project that used Sun's XACML engine
and found it wasn't very convenient since Sun's XACML was developed a while
ago prior to JDK 1.4.  In addition, it has been brought up to date with the
XACML 3.0 standard.  I haven't found any good open source XACML engine that
support 3.0.

So in our next project, we are planning to rewrite Sun's XACML using the
latest OpenSAML library.  I am not sure what the effort/benefits of rewrite
vs design from scratch.  But on the surface, it seems a good short-cut since
many of the policy eval algorithms can be kept as they were.  If anyone has
any good ideas or is interested in helping, I'd be happy to know.   I would
also like to ask what would be the proper way to contribute the code back to
the Shib community...

Thanks!

Could anyone provide some info on the  status of OpenXACML?  I saw that the
web site openxacml.org is up, but without any info.  Is this an official
Internet2 project?

Thanks a lot!

Nick
