[jboss-as7-dev] Security Domain Config: JASPI vs Classic?

[Jason T. Greene]

Right now the security domain configuration has separate sections for 
JASPI and Classic/Basic authentication. The only difference seems to be 
that JASPI authentication requires an additional name field per module, 
and JASPI authorization requires an additional login-module reference. 
So essentially its a superset.

Is there a reason we would not want to just switch to the JASPI style of 
specification, and eliminate the classic style. A name per login module 
seems useful anyway.
