[security-dev] [PicketLink IDM] - Timed Release Version - 3.0.0-2013Jan22

[Pedro Igor Silva]

Hi All,

    Today, we released a new timed version for the PicketLink IDM project. The documentation and quickstarts are being elaborated, but you can always check the test cases for a lot of usage examples.

        <dependency>
  		<groupId>org.picketlink</groupId>
  		<artifactId>picketlink-idm-impl</artifactId>
  		<version>3.0.0-2013Jan22</version>
  	</dependency>

    The code bellow shows how to quick start using the file-based store:

        // initialization code
        IdentityConfiguration config = new IdentityConfiguration();
        
        config.addStoreConfiguration(new FileIdentityStoreConfiguration());

        IdentityManager identityManager = new DefaultIdentityManager();

        identityManager.bootstrap(config, new DefaultIdentityStoreInvocationContextFactory());
        
        // let's create some users, roles and groups.
        User user = new SimpleUser("someUser");
        
        user.setAttribute(new Attribute<String>("someAttribute", "someValue"));
        
        identityManager.add(user);
        
        Role role = new SimpleRole("someRole");
        
        identityManager.add(role);

        Group group = new SimpleGroup("someGroup");
        
        identityManager.add(group);
        
        // let's create some relationships
        identityManager.grantRole(user, role);
        identityManager.addToGroup(user, group);
        identityManager.grantGroupRole(user, role, group);

    This is the first version that supports all major features, including: (for the JPA and File identity stores, only)

        - Identity Types Management (Common functionality for User, Group and Roles)
