policy

The policy project has two distinct goals:
- In the short term, make JAX-WS WS-policy aware by moving out the generic policy code from project Tango.
- In the long term, provide a common, abstract policy API layer. The API design should be independent of any particular policy expression language. Instead it should be use case driven and ease-of-use oriented.

The project is inspired by the effort and experience gained with WS-Policy and other policy languages for web services in project Tango. Unlike the WS-Policy implementation in project Tango, this project is meant to approach the policy domain in a much more general sense and to enable policy features in a wide spectrum of Java SE and Java EE applications.
