Re: WS-Security 1.1

There has been a slight delay to the promotion to Committee Specification -- they found a few typos in some of the examples in the specs, so they have to edit them and restart the process. I suspect that will delay things for about a month. Once the specs are approved as Committee Specs, I expect the TC to submit them for ratification as soon as possible, and then it will take another 45 days or so before they can become ratified, assuming no one raises issues that require a fix.

Hello.  I just joined the mailing list so pardon me if this has been asked before.  I could not find a search button on the mailing list archives.  I'll also go through the past posts but if there's anyone who wouldn't mind answering this (again) now, I'd be really grateful.  Actually, it's a group of questions.

 

Does anyone know when the new version of the standard (1.1) might be "approved" as an OASIS standard?  I can see that they're now considering the current drafts for promotion to "Committee Specification", which is one step away (or actually, they say, promotion to committee spec and to standard may be simultaneous) from OASIS standard.  How much longer do you think before we see the new 1.1 standard?

 

Also, is WSS4J ready for 1.1?  Is the dev team taking some steps now to gradually incorporate the 1.1 changes?  How long do you think after 1.1 comes out before WSS4J becomes 1.1-compliant?  Hope you don't mind my asking.  I just want to have an idea.  I don't mean to place any demands on you, guys.  It's been working great so far.  Kudos to everyone involved!

 

Thanks,
