Re: [classlib] proposal to revisit componentization for security (was: Re: problems with security2)
Sounds reasonable.
Sure, I can make 'getInstance' functionality visible as an internal API.
So we put classes that has many internal dependencies into the same component,
but not only that. For example java.lang.Error and java.lang.Ecxeption do not
have internal dependencies but we put them into the same component.
Having internal dependency is not the only reasong to go into the same
component. Other reasons could be belonging to the same package or having
some semantical connection.
For example I'd put java.security.cert and javax.security.cert into the same
component.
What do you think?

BTW... Could you give an example of close and weak coupling?
Sure. The goal is to define modules that represent functional units
whose implementation can be contained within the module as much as
possible. The measure of coupling is the number of internal-API
dependencies shared between two modules. (Internal-APIs are those that
Anton described, and that we are proposing to put into
org.apache.harmony.module_name.whatever packages and explicitly
export from the module.)
For example, we have code like LUNI and NIO that require some
non-Java-API dependencies upon one another, but these are 'weakly'
coupled because they are coupled by a small number of 'internal APIs'.
Where the code has a large number of implementation dependencies that
you would not want to export then that is an indication of close
coupling. So, for example, if we tried to separate java.io into its own
module we would have lots of impl dependencies between that module and
LUNI that would indicate poor modularity. Similarly trying to move the
NIO buffers impls out to a separate module to NIO would result in those
two modules being closely coupled.
The following two groups of classes use the same internal stuff:
GROUP1 (use/provide inernal implementation of 'getInstance' ):
Can you make this visible as an internal API (e.g. exported factory type)?
java.security.AlgorithmParameterGenerator
java.security.AlgorithmParameters
java.security.KeyFactory
java.security.KeyPairGenerator
java.security.KeyStore
java.security.KeyStoreSpi
java.security.MessageDigest
java.security.Provider
java.security.SecureRandom
java.security.Security
java.security.Signature
java.security.cert.CertPathBuilder
java.security.cert.CertPathValidator
java.security.cert.CertStore
java.security.cert.CertificateFactory
javax.crypto.Cipher
javax.crypto.ExemptionMechanism
javax.crypto.KeyAgreement
javax.crypto.KeyGenerator
javax.crypto.Mac
javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory
javax.net.ssl.KeyManagerFactory
javax.net.ssl.SSLContext
javax.net.ssl.SSLServerSocketFactory
javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
javax.net.ssl.TrustManagerFactory
GROUP2 (all use internal implementation of ASN.1):
The ASN.1 code is a good example of an internal-API that we would want
to expose to other module developers.
To be clear, we are not extending the Java API here, just making it
visible as a contract that replacements to whatever module implements
it must conform.
java.security.cert.PolicyQualifierInfo
java.security.cert.TrustAnchor
java.security.cert.X509CRLSelector
java.security.cert.X509CertSelector
javax.crypto.EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo
javax.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosKey
javax.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosTicket
All other dependencies seem to be public ones.
Sounds good.

Right, but these are all public type dependencies, for sure the modules

Removing certificate management would break APIs in java.util.jar
and java.security so it doesn't make sense to separate it from them.
US Export Control office is less interested in digital
signing/verification than they are in the cryptography and secure
communications packages. Keeping them pluggable makes sense.
Perhaps we should name the 'jaas' package 'auth'. JAAS may be a
protected trademark. The org.ietf.jgss package may belong in 'auth' as
well.

I'd rather put it into crypto (or maybe into x-net) - all of them use

javax.crypto is an exportable package: it's defined as an extension (JCE) that has key and parameters' export restrictions defined in JAVA_HOME/lib/security/local_policy.jar and JAVA_HOME/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar If you don't define such restrictions its make sense to merge JCE with JCA.
