[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SECURITY-288) Mapping Flexibility needed in the 5.0 schema

[Anil Saldhana (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/SECURITY-288?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12433647#action_12433647 ] 

Anil Saldhana commented on SECURITY-288:
----------------------------------------

SECURITY-287 added a method called as "supports".  This will help in the flexibility of the mapping framework.

We will continue to support the explicit <role-mapping> element in a deprecated manner.


SecurityContext.getMappingManager gets us the mapping manager from where we can map.

> We need some mapping schema flexibility.   My earlier attempt of directly doing a role-mapping element needs to be deprecated and we need something like the following:
> <application-policy name="test">
>   <authentication/>
>    <authorization/>
>    <mapping>
>        <type="principal">
>           <mapping-module>....</mapping-module>
>        </type>
>        <type="identity">
>            <mapping-module>....</mapping-module>
>         </type>
>         <type="rolemapping">
>            <mapping-module>....</mapping-module>
>         </type>
>    </mapping>
> </application-policy>
> the element names in type  (principal, identity, rolemapping) should just be arbitrary strings. Users should be able to add anything of their own.
> getMappingInfo(String mappingType)   should return the MappingInfo.
