| [higgins-dev] FW: Rich client test for the Interop |
|
Forwarding this
email. From: Dear Identity Selector authors, I've added a rich client application for the rich client
feature test. The test is at http://osis.idcommons.net/wiki/I3:FeatureTest-Selector_Support_for_Rich_Clients.
The .zip file there contains both the (only 2 page!) C# source code and a
Windows executable. The application authenticates to a simple service
running at FederatedIdentity.net, displays the claim values received by that
service, and then uses the service. Because we don't yet have a selector-selector standard yet,
I suspect that any such application will currently be selector-specific.
Nonetheless, it would be fabulous to demonstrate the smart client
functionality of all the selectors that support it! Therefore, could one of you sign up to translate this simple
app into Java and have it invoke your selectors instead of CardSpace? I
believe that this would both be a valuable interop demonstration (because your
smart client application would still be using the same service in the same way
as the Windows one) and it would provide good data on what it will take to
enable selector-selector functionality for rich client applications that works
across the different selectors. I'm glad we are going to be testing this during the Interop,
because it's far from a browser-only world out there!
Cheers,
