Designing an XACML API

Question

Currently, the XACML specification defines a protocol for request / response but leaves it up to interpretation as to how it can be integrated into an enterprise application. I believe that the value of XACML won't be realized unless there is the creation of a new open source project that attempts to develop/standardize around a set of common APIs.

For those who are familiar with XACML, I would love to understand their first reactions to creation of such a project, whether they would be willing to contribute and what they believe an XACML API would look like?

Answer 1

Doesn't Sun's XACML Implementation give you a solid API?

(The development is back on track and the site should be updated soon. Hava a look at the sunxacml-devl mailing list.
