OpenSSO: Development Process Docs and template
Development Process Docs and template
Pat has posted the OpenSSO Development Process Document and a set of document templates.
Our engineering team is following this process (internally) before we open source the code base. Now, we open it to all OpenSSO contributors.
And, we have also published a set of coding guidelines. [Here]

Open Federation
We have just open sourced the Federation and Web Services code base under the OpenSSO project. As of today, OpenSSO has the following products
The nightly builds for Open Federation are at http://download.java.net/general/opensso/nightly/openfm/ and http://download.java.net/general/opensso/nightly/fedlibrary/ Note: You may need to get more jar files into opensso/products/extlib after you sync up your workspace with OpenSSO CVS and after building your workspace. Please read the README under opensso/products directory. |

Avoid Imitation!
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/061109/3/44ngj.html
SINGAPORE, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Crocs Inc. , maker of the hugely popular crayon-coloured rubber clogs, called for better escalator safety after a Singapore child lost a toe when its imitation clog got stuck in an escalator.
On Saturday, two-year-old Chong Shiyr's right big toe was ripped off in a Singapore mall after her rubber clog -- an imitation of a Croc shoe -- got stuck between the escalator gap and the side wall.
Her toe was found nearly three hours later but could not be reattached as it was too badly damaged.
"Crocs shoes are completely safe. The popularity of our shoes has helped draw attention to a long-existing issue that we think is very important -- escalator safety," Crocs public relations manager Tia Mattson said in a statement emailed from the U.S. early on Thursday.
"Escalators and moving sidewalks, particularly those that have not received proper care and maintenance, can be dangerous and pose risks to their riders," Crocs added.
The incident is the latest -- and possibly the most serious -- accident involving rubber clogs and escalators. On Oct. 5, ABC News reported that there have been several similar incidents in the United States.

4 secs and you are out
Websites face four-second cut-off
With high speed internet access and better equipments, I think that user's expectation is going to increase over time. I remember those days when I was on dial-up line with 56K modem and high data dropping rate. Then I was *very patient*. 
With Web 2.0, the web access time is significantly reduced. This is really nice. I do not know if our younger generation is able to appreciate this as they have not gone through the "Static Content, Slow internet speed, Slow PC, ..." You name it. Almost everything was slow then.
And, we are pampered with wealth of content on the Web. With Google (organizing the Web), you can search for answers to your question in less then one second. I use Google Group almost everyday. (it was dejanews, then it became "deja" and then "Google Group")
Now, doctors are googling ... [Google 'aids doctors' diagnoses'].

Yahoo, Microsoft and Google Maps
vs
I guess it is Google vs Microsoft Maps now. The former provides satellite view and the
latter provides 3D view. Aha. You have 3D view if you have IE 6/7 plus allowing Microsoft to
install a piece of software. I do not have the chance to see the 3D view yet because I do not have Windows running. I would have to go find a Windows machine to see it

IMO, This is unacceptable

I am wondering what the Department of Transportation was thinking when they put this system up. It is so dangerous.

J2EE Agents is formally open sourced.
This announcement is made to announce@opensso.dev.java.net
The J2EE agent Architecture document and the source code for the Sun
Java System Application Server 8.2 are now available.
* A PDF of the J2EE Architecture document is posted here.
* The source code for the J2EE agent for Sun Java System Application Server
8.2 is available from the OpenSSO CVS tree. A README located in this
directory specifies the location of build and installation instructions.
The nightly build is available here.
Give it a try!
More J2EE agents source code will follow in next few months. Stay Tuned!
thanks,
Shivaram

Nightly build for J2EE Agents
Nightly build for J2EE Agents is posted at http://download.java.net/general/opensso/nightly/j2eeagents/
Currently, we only have agents for Sun Application Server v81 and v82. And, this is the README

Just upgraded to Firefox 2.0. And installed Lightning .3 extension on Thunderbird to read
my Google calendar. Pretty cool! Thanks to mozilla open source projects and google
Way to go!

Happenings in OpenSSO for the past 2 weeks
It is about 2 weeks since I last blogged on OpenSSO. Time flies. Here are some of the OpenSSO developments for the past 2 weeks.
J2EE agent for Sun Application Server 8.1 and 8.2 is open sourced. I think the architecture doc is posted too (I would have to check again). This agent has an installer so it should be easy to install it.
Unit test is setup using testNG. We have alot of work to do on porting our existing unit test to this setup.
Currently, the Administration Console based on JATO (J2EE Assisted TakeOff) framework;
and we planned to port it to JSF (Java Server Faces) immediately. Please send me email if you are interested in working on this task.
Open Federation. Currently, we can only do single sign on on single domain. Federation Manager allows us to do it across domains. We are working on open sourcing the Federation Manager code base. So.... Stay tuned.
Configuring OpenSSO server. Currently, we can only configure OpenSSO server to use flat file as datastore. It is a hassle to have the datastore as LDAP, AD, etc. I getting the team to port the LDAP Configurator as soon as possible. Sorry for the delay.
Emails, emails and emails. Several folks are already playing with OpenSSO server and agents. And we are happy to receive emails from them. We are really glad that they have tried many features in OpenSSO.

A very simplistic view of Single Sign On and Access Control
This is over simplified. But it tells you how things work at 3000 feet.

about OpenSSO in this week
I just want to write about what we have done for OpenSSO in this week.
Unified Unit Test Framework
The team has agreed to use testNG as the Unit Test Framework. We are in the process of migrating our unit tests to testNG. We already have our first testNG testsuite in OpenSSO code repository under opensso/products/amserver/test; and a co-worker has helped me to draft a paper on how to add testNG testcases and test suites to OpenSSO. (Thanks Dilli.) We will post the paper on OpenSSO website soon.
Integrating OpenSSO with Open Federation Manager
Since we are open sourcing our Federation Manager soon, I am working with a handful of engineers to integrate OpenSSO and Open Federation Manager. Things went well. So, you will be expecting the see the source code of Open Federation Manager soon.
J2EE Agents for Application Server
The J2EE Agent team is preparing our code for open source. I happened to have the chance to see their progress. I am happy to report that code are almost ready; we just need to have the agent installer code ready so that we can install the agents with ease.
Well, weekend is coming, and this guy is already waiting to play!
