----------------------------------------
Summary: Make implementing the org.wildfly.extension.elytron.Configurable
optional for configurable components.
Key: WFCORE-3878
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-3878
Project: WildFly Core
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Security
Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
Assignee: Martin Mazanek
Fix For: 6.0.0.Alpha1
Presently custom components within the Elytron subsystem are required to implement the
'org.wildfly.extension.elytron.Configurable' interface if they wish to support
receiving a Map of configuration Strings.
This means that the custom component needs to depend on both the WildFly Elytron project
and the subsystem.
It should be possible for components to add the following method without implementing the
interface and be configurable.
{noformat}
void initialize(final Map<String, String> configuration);
{noformat}
We also have a long standing issue in that if we add a new component to WildFly Elytron it
can not be used until we can add a resource to configure it. By supporting configurable
custom components without needing a dependency on the subsystem new components added to
WildFly Elytron could be usable whilst the subsystem definitions catch up.
