Hi,
Sorry guys -  I jumped into conclusions. I was mislead by the
documentation pointing to an older source (I was thinking that we did
a release but seems not -  And the new code is pretty much different
from the old one). By going through the svn logs I made sure that the
changes has indeed been done in the trunk for the past few months.
Thanks Sanka for the clarifications

While trying to implement some of the stuff I came across some points
in the code and so this would be the right time to point it out and
perhaps start a conversation around it. So here are some of the
thoughts for improvement

1. The AssertionBuilderFactory is made static inside the PolicyEngine.
It seems this is not flexible since I want to have my own defaults. It
would have been better if we can control this via a System property
but for now I made it a field and added a setter so that one can set a
custom factory

2. The AssertionBuilderFactory need not have any static methods . It
should be an instance inside the PolicyEngine (static right now) and
it has a static registerBuilder method which makes it really ugly.
Actually the static factory instance is never used to register the
builders. So I've made   the registerBuilder method  an instance
method and also modified the PolicyEngine to rightfully use the static
factory instance. Also moved the static intializer code to the
constructor.

3. The element field in XMLPrimitiveAssertion has a default scope and
is impossible to extend in an outside package. So I've made that a
protected variable.

I will create a Jira and attach the patch. If there would be no
downstream problems (WS-Security policy may be) we can go ahead with
the changes

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its
creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain
too little falls into lazy habits of thinking - Albert Einstein
