Colm O hEigeartaigh commented on WSS-204:
-----------------------------------------


I've finally had some time to think about this patch, and I'm going to mark 
this issue as won't fix. There are a number of problems with it as far as I'm 
concerned:

 - WSS4J would have two dependencies on different versions of the same library 
(Opensaml 1 and 2)
 - Opensaml 2 has a compile time dependency on bouncycastle, whereas WSS4J does 
not require bouncycastle. In fact, some of the tests fail unless the 
bouncycastle dependency is explicitly excluded from Opensaml 2.
 - Opensaml2 introduces some new dependencies, such as slf4j. I feel that this 
is too big a change for a minor release, as we still release a distribution 
with each release.

Rather than apply this patch (aside from the reasons above), it is only a 
temporary fix anyway....the real solution is to completely move to Opensaml2 
and release WSS4J 1.6.

> With the patch submitted for Rampart-231, SAML 2.0 support will be available 
> for Rampart. That patch only generates SAML 2.0 tokens as per the SAML Token 
> Profile 1.1 specification. SAML 2.0 validation support is mandatory for the 
> full completion of SAML 2.0 support in Rampart.
