JBossAuthenticator will not compile against release. Documentation of this
class is out of date
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JUDDI-364
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JUDDI-364
Project: jUDDI
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Reporter: Ryan Hochstetler
Assignee: Kurt T Stam
JBossAuthenticator in docs does not compile against the present release as
distributed. The documentation which refers to this example class is out of
date, also.
1.) JBossAuthenticator does not fully implement
org.apache.juddi.v3.auth.Authenticator. It is missing UddiEntityPublisher
identify(String authInfo, String authorizedName)
2.) The documentation at:
http://ws.apache.org/juddi/docs/3.0/userguide/html_single/index.html refers to
the old package this class used to occupy.
3.) The inline documentation in JBossAuthenticator refers to the old package
as well.
Might I suggest moving this class out of docs and into the compiled and tested
baseline so that it is regularly compiled, in order to avoid such problems in
the future. I understand your motivation for keeping it separate. You with to
avoid the burden of answering users' questions about it or maintaining it when
JBoss API changes. It's reasonable to predict that you're going to have to do
these things anyway (since people will still post on the forums and write bug
reports about it when it's out of date). Why not move all such code and
examples into a separate distribution package, e.g. juddi-integration.jar?
Providing simple integration into popular app containers out of the box can
only be good for the jUDDI project.
And before you accuse me of demanding something for nothing, note that I'm
tasked with deploying jUDDI backed by Oracle 11g, for which there is no current
documentation, only a plea for contributions. ;)
