It will be interesting to see what is proposed for summit/plexus as some kind of security service is IMO a must have requirement. I guess Dan's JASF code might be developed further for this purpose - do you have any insight into this Dan? Having looked over the security code briefly in the last week, I don't think it would be too difficult to provide a further implementation of the existing security service that does not use torque - not too easy, but not too difficult (the LDAP support was only recently made to work).
