Re: [higgins-dev] [IdAS] context provider registration

[Anthony Nadalin <drsecure@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The java.security.Provider class is just that, it registers providers and manages these, I'm not sure what else we need, maybe you can provide a list of what else is needed.

It seems like doing that would take us more in the direction of swapping out what we were calling IdASEndpoint for java.security.Provider. Though I've never used it, to me it looks like the Provider class itself is used to get an instance of the provider service (like: Provider.getService().newInstance()). Except for the fact that Provider is very security-provider-centric and doesn't do everything we need.
 
I guess my inclination is to stick with something more simple and of our own invention here. Greg's proposal of using a properties file to configure IdASEndpoint (I really wish it was called IdASRegistry) seemed good to me, other than a small worry that we'll want something more robust someday (like xml).

Yes that was my thought

So you mean to use java.security.Provider, even though our provider does
not implement any part of the Java Security API?  Are you thinking of
IdAS as a kind of engine class within the JCA?  (Not officially, but
with the same interface.)
