[Steering Committee] august presentation

[Brandon N Burk]

Just for clarification... for a more succinct presentation I was thinking
JSR-105 from the Java security space. That is the XML Digital Signature
API.

The concepts behind DigSig can be a little obfuscated for the newcomer,
much less a useful application. I could demonstrate usage for
single-sign-on among multiple Java web applications.

JBoss Rules (aka Drools 3.x) I just find really interesting and would like
to dig into further. Rules engines in general can get fairly
computer-sciencey so I'm not so sure that a JUG presentation would be able
to do justice to how they work. Who really cares how the RETE algorithm
works anyway right?

Here is another idea... it might be no good but I'll throw it out for
consideration; I could spend half the time on JSR 105 in the context of
single-sign-on, and then spend the other half on JBoss Rules as a security
engine. That is just a passing thought... I am not sure if it would be
educational.

By the way please feel free to email my personal address at

Have a great weekend!

  Brandon Burke just agreed to speak at our August meeting. He is open to
  suggestions on the topic - he mentioned JBoss Rules and Java Security.

My vote is on JBoss Rules.  I'd love to see that in action.
