JSR 105

[Raul Benito <ra...@r-bg.com>]

Hi All,

  I've been investigating on how to do our current xml-sec java library
JSR105(XML Digital Signature APIs) compliant. I had downloaded the specs
and the api seems more sane more sane than we are already have, so i want
to keep investigating and prepare a quick proof of concept.
  The problem is that in the download section of JCP there are only the
html javadoc files, so does anyone knows where I can find the .jar with
the real java interface(ala xml-apis.jar)?
  Are there more people interested in this? Are there people already
working on this? Do they need some help?

Regards,

Raul

Well.. the ping I send out last night came back fairly quickly with some 
good news. Apparently another set of documents is going to be send from 
Apache to Sun and IBM today.. so hopefully in another couple weeks :)

That sounds awful.
 I have the feeling (from some stacktraces that people has send me) that 
the RI of JSR105 has some apache code in it(some package is call 
apache). But I didn't want to dig dipper as reading the download EULA 
give me headaches :(
 So as I also don't know if they are going to merge the changes soon, I 
was planning to begin to do one implementation. But now, with this 
information I can wait a little more to see how the issue resolve.

Thanks for the information.

Regards,
Raul

Please do not get me started on JSR105.. :(

The RI of JSR105, the one that' sin JWSDP1.4 is actually based on the
Apache implementation under the hood. And it's the intention of both IBM
and Sun to contribute this back to Apache. All great stuff.. the catch is
that it involved lawyers in 3 different organisations and will thus take a
long long time. It's a very slow process, but as far as I know there still
is progress.. I was planning to send out some emails to try to get another
status update this weekend, so I'll do that right away and get back when
there is some news.
The plan has been all along to take the JSR105 stuff, merge any changes
that are made in the present version that aren't applied yet and make that
the basis of version 2 of the API.
I'll let you guys know when there's more progress..

Hello Raul,

To the best of my knowledge, Sun's JWSDP1.4 has a beta implementation of
JSR105 that included with it
