Scott, if you have time to take a look at the security requirements for the JCA 
1.6 implementation that would be great.

Here are a couple of pointers to get started

* Chapter 16 in the specification - it describes requirements plus use-cases
* Investigate security infrastructure in AS/trunk to align requirements
* Create a deisgn for a simple security domain for the standalone project
* Start with a test case where a Work instance uses a SecurityContext
* and build from there

There are a couple of other requirements, since this is one of the big 
integration points for the project

* Test cases covering the use-cases described
* A chapter in the JCA Developer Guide describing the setup and integration

Keep in mind that this is one of the places where we need an internal SPI such 
that we can integrate with the standalone setup and the setup used in JBoss 
Application Server.

You +can+ take a look at the security integration in the current JCA 
implementation inside AS, but I want a clean design with well-defined 
integration points - and a documented way of locating the needed information.

For the first implementation of the SPI for the standalone part I would suggest 
that you start with a simple setup using properties files - similar to the 
UsersRolesLoginModule idea in JBossSX. And then build from there... The 
principal mapping tool could just be a file too...

And start with the requirements for the WorkManager (watch out for nested Work 
submissions with different SecurityContexts) - and save the MessageEndpoints 
for later.

The code should be located in the core/ module - and feel free to use 
EmbeddedJCA and the ShrinkWrap support for the test cases.
