As a second thought, it's not *that* easy.

The PPolicy does not belongs to core-api, that's granted, but in fact, it's around for more than one year.

Here is what I suggest :
- first, I would keep the current commit there. Reverting would harm the feature, and it does not buy time - second, and this is critical, we have to create a JIRA about moving this part of the code out of the API - third, as soon as we get a 1.0.0-M3 release (ie, at the end of this week if all goes well), we can start thinking about how to get rid of PPolicy code in core-api, to move it to core

The interaction with the authn interceptor is huge, and I think at some point, we also have some interaction with the DirectoryService (config, etc).

What I mean is that it's not a sudden mess, it's growing for more than one year, and we just realized that now.

Time to cleanup !

thoughts ?

Please revert putting this into the core-api: this functionality should be 
loaded when needed as an extra rather than a core function of the server.
I'm afraid, at the moment, there's no easy way to avoid putting it there and 
having the dependency on the extras jar. We lack, in the server, the same kind 
of support for extras you built in Shared.
This can most certainly be put in core, not in core-api. Core-api is only 
supposed to expose what is necessary to create the server, it's not supposed to 
contain any impl.
Yeah, OK.
I see the point. You're right.
Core is probably a better place.

Pierre-Arnaud
