Hi,

I have been looking into using my own, custom PDP and have been discovering that the JBossPDP is pretty entwined to
the security component. For example it can get created in JBossPolicyRegistration, JBossXACMLUtil or in SOAPSAMLXACMLServlet.

To allow for easier swapping out of the PDP, for various reasons, should JBossPDP become an interface? And then in the security-deployer have a bean that defines the desired PDP?

While I understand that in most instances, the default PDP is probably good enough, I can envision circumstances were a custom PDP
would be the preferred choice.

Thanks for any comments.

Brian
