Re: [higgins-dev] STS profile problems
|
Paul,
Why do you think this is bad/peculiar?
According to IContext interface, IContext.open() method can return ID of
DigitalSubject. It assumes, that each instance of IContext contains exactly
one DigitalSubject (or some default subject). But I think this is special
case of JNDI provider (one DigitalSubject per Context), and we should not
accept this rule for all CPs. Context should be able to contain more then
one DigitalSubject. So, I propose:
1. Change the result type of IContext.open() from String to void.
2. If we need to get some DigitalSubject from the Context we MUST have
subjectID of required Subject. In other words, if we need to get
DigitalSubject with claim values of some card, this card should contain both
contextID and subjectID.
In case of JNDI CP, empty string can be used as subjectID because this CP
always contain one DigitalSubject per Context. In any case we need standard
way to get DigitalSubject from Context.
Thanks,
Sergey Lyakhov

each context contains single digital subject and subject ID is returned

IContext.open() method. I think we should not use this peculiarity
anywhere. Moreover, I think IContext.open() should return nothing (void).
