1. Re: identity requirements
tom.baeyens Jun 3, 2008 9:12 AM (in response to tom.baeyens)Here goed the ones from the top of my head:
* easy distribution with the jPDL Suite. The jPDL suite is going to be a .zip file that contains a full installation of jPDL, including designer, web console, runtime and documentation. Also the identity component will be a part of it.
* XML loading of identity data with an ant script. This is necessary to build the jPDL Suite Database with prepopulated data.
* Use case 1) task assignment. When a task needs to be assigned to a user, we want to identify a specific user with an expression language.
* Use case 2) email address resolution. For the email integration, we need a user's email address
* Generic model: in the evaluation of jBPM and in the demo's, we don't want the identity component to be a limiting factor. So the model should be generic enough so that most workflow requirements can be easily addressed with it. I don't yet have a lot of concrete examples out of my head. Help with that is appreciated.
* If the identity component has an implementation that fits with our architecture, that is a plus.
* A web console to manage the data in the identity store
* Flexible authorization. It should be flexible to use JAAS or direct API invocation to do authorization. Also the type of authorization should be flexible as there is no consensus around a clear, unified set of authorization requirements.
How do you use the current jBPM identity component ? Which features are most important to you ? -

tom.baeyens Jun 3, 2008 9:14 AM (in response to tom.baeyens)Here you can see the UML Class Diagram of our current Identity module. Also the expression language is documented there:
