Shibboleth Developers

[Chad La Joie <>]

You just can't keep a questionable idea down.  ;)

The Shibboleth Core team has been discussing internally and on the dev 
phone calls whether we should delay IdP v3 work in favor of a Java SP.

I produced the following page that currently summarizes our discussions:
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/JavaSPRoadmap

The first part of the page tries to describe the the current Java 
application authentication landscape and the second part shows our 
current thoughts on what a Shibboleth Java SP might be.

What we are most interested in hearing, at this point, is:
 - is there still a reasonable demand for a Java SP (i.e. would you 
actually use it)
 - is the rather vague functional description going in the right direction

Please note, a Java SP will NOT alleviate the work of externalizing 
authentication and attribute acquisition.  If you are not willing to 
take on that work for the web applications you have in mind please do 
not respond that you'd use the Java SP.
