[aerogear-dev] AeroGear Security and friends deprecation

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Hello again!

One thing that just came to mind is the implications for the clients.

Today the client libs are supporting "AeroGear Security", for cases like
the RESTful login.

For example, taking the iOS library:
https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-ios/blob/master/AeroGear-iOS/security/AGRestAuthentication.m

This class somewhat expects an endpoint, that under the covers uses
AeroGear Security-PicketLink JAR. The AGIOS-35 ticket is a good example of
how client had to be changed due to updates on the used version of
PicketLink.

Now, I am wondering, what does the deprecation of the java libraries mean
for the client offerings? For instance, once we did port the endpoints (for
instance on AeroDoc) to vanilla PicketLink, should this iOS class/module
just function like before? Or does it even make sense to keep that
functionality?  Or, instead of on the "core" module (speaking iOS), would
it make sense to move it into a different/separate project ?

Greetings,
Matthias
