Re: [higgins-dev] Bandit Realm Definition Samples

Ok, I think I see where you're going, we have several possibilities
here.  I'm going to mull them over and make a specific proposal for this
use case and see what you all think.

Thanks,
Tom

Yes, I think there would be three ContextProvider objects  in this 
case.  But you might only
register one -- the Join CP contains both Contexts that are implemented

by the
LDAP and XML CPs.  Whether you register one, two, or three depends on 
how you
want the data presented to the IdAS consumer.  (And you could have one

or two
or more Contexts -- see below.)

Yes, that's what I would expect.  (But I guess it depends on whether
the 
LDAP directory is
associated with the Context or with the ContextProvider.  I would
expect 
the former -- that is,
part of the creation of an LDAP Context would be the URL of its 
directory.  If it's the latter, then
you'd need two ContextProviders, one for each directory.)

You could expose this in many different ways.  You could have one CP 
(Join) and one
Context which represents all DigitalSubjects the two directories and
the 
XML file.  Or you
could have three Contexts.  These are just the two most obvious, but
you 
could also
have more Contexts, representing various subsets of the DigSubs.
