Shibboleth Developers

["Jones, Mark B" <>]

This is sounding more and more useful.
We would use a Servlet/Filter implementation.  Most of our applications run 
on Tomcat only.  Applications that need Shibboleth have required us to bring 
up dedicated environments to run them.  
We would be less likely to use a JASPI implementation.  Running multiple SPs 
in a single container is something we would likely want to do.

Yes

Yes.

Logically yes.  If it was implemented as a Servlet/Filter is would be an 
SP per application since it would be part of the app itself.  If the 
implementation was done as a JASPI module then there would only be one 
SP per container and it would have to be configured on a per-application 
basis in a way similar to the way the C++ SP worked.
