Some questions about the Java WS A&A Security Descriptor Framework
documented here:

http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.2/4.2.1/security/wsaajava/descriptor/

4. Administrator Authorization Chain

"The decision returned by this chain overrides subsequent
authorization decisions. That is, if the administrator's authorization
chain returns a deny, the rest of the configured authorization (at
container/service/resource) is not evaluated and the operation is
denied. If the administrator's chain returns the permit, the rest of
the configuration is evaluated to see if the operation is allowed."

The above combining algorithm doesn't sound like any combining
algorithm I know.  If the Administrator Authorization Chain "overrides
subsequent authorization decisions," why doesn't permit override the
rest of the configured authorization (at container/service/resource)?

Does the <adminAuthz> element take a combiningAlg attribute?

5. Authorization

What are possible values of the combiningAlg attribute?

Are other elements besides <param:nameValueParam> supported out of the
box?  For example, are multi-valued parameters supported?

Thanks,
Tom
