RE: [wss][Off-Topic?] Anyone interested in helping with an open s
ource impl of WS-Security at Apache?
Glen is the one who wants that and he hasn't gotten around to implementing
it yet. He is currently 'on a break' before starting his new job at Sonic.
He wants to rewrite the build/test framework (for the second time I will
point out) as one of the first things when he has the time. :-)
Also, please remember that we have "unit" tests - run 'ant junit', but when
you run 'ant all-tests' you are running the unit tests AND the functional
test suite, which happens to use JUnit.
Yes, the functional tests are complicated, particularly the WSDL tests, many
of which I wrote. But amazingly enough, this stuff is *complicated* and
sometimes things are hard to test.

I remember some talk of a playback server used for testing SOAP messages.
What ever happened to that? Does anyone remember?

Ah, I see. Fair enough.
Unit tests should remain as small and clear as possible. There is often a
tendency among developers to bloat their unit tests into full function
tests. That is not the intended purpose of the tool.

Please respond
to axis-dev
It's not the number of tests.
The fact is the code is very complicated in many circumstances and one
cannot determine what is actually being tested.
We do not have even minimal comments on most of the tests. Without being
intimately familiar with the entire Axis code base, someone looking at the
tests will commonly have a hard time tracking down what error
condition/boundary is tested.
Does that make sense?

Too many unit tests? Is that possible? What is the down side that you are
trying to highlight?

I am interested in developing a test suite for Axis/.NET compatibility.
Was thinking of using NUnit for client side testing. Any thoughts on the
topic?
My impression is that we have way too many java based junit tests with
little documentation of what is actually being tested.
Any work on this topic would have to be done on my own time. Too busy at
work.
Please start to think about any issues we might have.

All areas need development and interop testing :) intention is to
start with UserNameToken, then XML-ENC, XML-DSIG.

Fantastic - I found the code in the Axis repository.
One final question - is there a particular area that is especially in
need
of development (i.e., X.509 profile, functionality needed by the WSS
interop
scenarios, etc)?
Regards,
John G. de Freitas

We are trying to bootstrap the project from the axis community. So
right now
the code is in the ws-axis cvs module and discussions are on axis
developers
mailing list (you can subscribe to the list by sending an email to
axis-dev-subscribe@ws.apache.org <
mailto:axis-dev-subscribe@ws.apache.org>
).
Thanks,
dims

Hello:
The project sounds interesting. One issue: I can't seem to checkout
the
project's CVS repository. Is the repository named "ws-wss4j", as
indicated
in the Apache Wiki's page
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?SecurityProposal
<http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?SecurityProposal> ?
Also on that page, are indications that there are Apache WSS mailing
lists,
though I can't find them @ marc.theaimsgroup.com.
Thanks.
Regards,
John G. de Freitas
