[TODO - DEVELOPMENT] - HttpOnly cookie flag
by jmanico
Hello. Are there any plans to support the HttpOnly cookie flag in the session cookie (JSESSIONID) of JBoss? Tomcat is on route to support this security flag.
As a side note, the HttpOnly cookie flag blocks JavaScript from accessing cookie data. It is supported by IE6+ FireFox 2.0.0.5+ Opera 9.5+ and is still be developed on Safari. It's not a standard per-say but is very widely used in practice. The Java Server JSR is also considering this flag. The security benefits are very significant. There is never, ever a need to access the JSESSIONID cookie via JavaScript. But adding HttpOnly support to JBoss a large class of Cross Site Scripting and Session Hijacking attacked will be prevented.
Thank you!!

Yes, good suggestion. Sorry for threadjacking ;-)
Personally, I'd wonder if DTSTART, LOCATION, PERCENT and CLASS can be left out for now. The task variables should be as easily readable as possible, so I'd not go for X- properties. Putting them in the description would also not be my favourite, so that leaves the ATTACH option or leave them out completely (at first). Additionally, I'd include a link somewhere that directly opens the task form page. For me that would be a near-perfect first release.
A XUL based ui could be nice, but why not just use the /a webbased page for updating?

[Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: iCalendar wrapper
by aapthorp
I wonder if we can separate the channel discussion from the mapping between iCalendar and jBPM (inparticular TaskInstance). First for read and then for create / update...the semantics should be the same irrespective of channel (e-mail, HTTP, RSS, etc).
First mapping iCalendar properties to jBPM. I chose to map to VTODO (tasklist). The mapping of many properties is fairly obvious. As noted in my orginal post a few properties don't have obvious mappings:
DTSTART (scheduled start date)
LOCATION / GEO (location of task)
PERCENT (percent complete)
CATEGORIES (could map to task name?)
CLASS (privacy)
RESOURCES (I mapped actors to attendees)
STATUS (e.g. assigned, accepted, declined, etc)
So one obvious question is whether any of the above have equivalents in jBPM or do they point to extensions for jBPM? From Tom's earlier response it sounds like assignment state will be supported in 4.
As a matter of interest what have you intended for the task management module now shown in the jBPM 'architecture' graphic?
In looking at it the other way round (i.e. what can't be mapped from jBPM) the obvious question is how to deal with task specific variables? Are there any others? I can see three possibilities for task specific variables, an ATTACH (atttachment), embed them in the DESCRIPTION (currently only plain text) or 'X-' properties. Of course the question is how would a calendar user agent handle these? DESCRIPTION is fine for read only, but if we want to update? I was wondering with a XUL based UI such as Lightning / Sunbird if one could create task specific UIs that extend the basic calendar agent functionality...
