[security-dev] PicketLink 3 IDM - Avoiding Knowledge of the IdentityStore

[Darran Lofthouse]

Working further with the API one thing that I notice is that is that 
although basic access to load IdentityTypes can be performed using the 
generic interfaces adding new identities seems to require a knowledge of 
the store to select the correct type.

As an example from what I can see to add a user to the 
FileBasedIdentityStore I need to add a FileUser - is this correct or am 
I missing something?

What I would hope to see is that a client of the API can be written to 
be completely independent of the IdentityStore so should the 
IdentityStore be switched the client would remain mostly unchanged.
