Great to hear!
I think I've found you on GitHub: if you agree, I'd add you as committer to https://github.com/Tirasa/SyncopeCamel

I can provide some (more) guidance to Syncope internals, if needed.

Summarizing: Giacomo, Hadrian (and anyone else interested) will be building a PoC - based on referenced proposal - on the above mentioned GitHub repository. This mailing list will be used for any related discussion (if you agree, I will enable the mail notification from GitHub to dev@). Once done, we will start discussing whether to a start a complete implementation (somewhere in the official Syncope SVN) based on PoC results.

Do you (or anyone else here at dev@) see any problem with this working model? I am proposing this way (instead of a bare dedicate branch on SVN) mainly because Giacomo is not committer (for Hadrian, being an ASF member, there would be no issue).

WDYT (especially fellow PMC members)?

Regards.

Hi all,
in order to be able to freely experiment with this proposal, I've
created an almost empty repository at GitHub

https://github.com/Tirasa/SyncopeCamel

where Giacomo will be soon push a simple overlay project, based on
Syncope 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.

The idea is to override there some Syncope components (UserController,
RoleController, ...) and introduce the ProvisioningManager - being still
able to successfully run the relevant integration tests.

Once we've get a working PoC there, we could start discussing whether to
perform a full implementation here, and also the pmost suitable way to
accept Giacomo's contribution.

WDYT?
Regards.

Thanks for your reply! I really appreciate your interest. I'm planning
to release a POC in the next months, before the end of February,
because i can work on it only two days for week.

I will keep you updated in the next weeks.

Best Regards.

Oggetto: Re: [Proposal] An Apache Camel Integration Proposal

It looks pretty cool! It's great to see the further integration of
Syncope with other Apache projects (e.g. CXF). What sort of time frame
do you envisage for this task + for what version of Syncope - 1.2/1.3?
Colm.

Hi,

Apache Syncope is a great solution for Identity Management. In this month I 
analyzed some use cases that led me to reflect about the flexibility of 
provisioning process to adapt to various (and sometimes very cumbersome) 
deployment scenarios.

The questions is: How well Syncope orchestrates the provisioning? The
problem is that Syncope lacks of a provisioning manager: this component could 
allow an easy and fully customizable definition of provisioning
control logic.

My proposal [1] consists in a redefinition of the (user and role)
controller concept, through the Apache Camel framework. Why this
framework? I think that Camel fits the need of easy control logic
definition. Moreover Camel supports a wide range of external components: it 
means that it can be easily integrated with existing frameworks, like Activiti.
