I wanted to get some feedback on an idea. I have been
looking at Novell's DSMLv2 implementation, OpenSPML
and OpenSAML. They all seem to suffer from the
problem of lack of interoperability on the client side
and an in-ability to interact with other libraries.
For instance, the SPML schema relys upon both DSMLv2
and SAML, yet OpenSPML does not rely on JLDAP or
OpenSAML from a code standpoint. It performs all
serialization/deserialization on it's own. It seems
to me that it would be beneficial to have a single
client library framework that allow for libraries to
be "assembled" to create an effective SOA client.
JLDAP seems to have taken a step in the right
direction by making all the objects serializable to
XML, but I do not think this goes far enough. I think
it would really help push IdM web services if someone
could re-use libraries and code and maintain a set of
libraries for all dialects of XML and WebServices.
Any thoughts?
