Ah yes, in that case we certainly would have wanted to use code from the Web Services project. OSIS has changed a bit over the past few weeks as other projects have evolved and I posted an update about this at (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/200606.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]).
So as it stands right now, the Heraldry project would not be developing its own desktop component. Rather, we'll take advantage of the work being done by the Higgins Project within Eclipse since they are interested in integrating OpenID as another protocol in their identity selector. I think we're certainly interested in looking at creating an identity selector within Apache, if there is interest to do so, but the advice we've received is to start out with a tighter scope for the project. The proposal on the wiki has been updated to reflect all of this. http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/HeraldryIdentityProposal Regards, --David -----Original Message----- From: Ruchith Fernando [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 6/27/2006 9:15 PM To: general@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL] Heraldry Identity Project Hi David, Thanks for the reply... I was specifically interested in Heraldry Identity Project's integration with Windows CardSpace (InfoCard). IMHO InfoCard uses WS-Trust as the protocol to exchange tokens and I'd like to know your approach to integrating with InfoCard. Is it simply going to depend on the OSIS implementation? Since OSIS is mentioned as one of the initial source items and since its in its very early stages , seems like most of the development is going to happen within the Heraldry project in Apache. If this is the case what will be the SOAP and WS-* implementations used in OSIS?
