Re: [stp-dev] Discussion on policy support in STP
I don't think XEF policy editor has those same restrictions, however it does not yet support all of the WS-Policy formats. The XEF editor currently only supports policies nested in <wsp:All/>, e.g: 
<wsp:Policy xmlns:wsp="http://www.w3.org/ns/ws-policy";>
 <wsp:All>
   <acme:Logging xmlns:acme="http://www.acme.com/xsd/2007/08/logging";>
     <file filename="myService.log" rolling_file="true" />
   </acme:Logging>
   <acme:Security xmlns:acme="http://www.acme.com/xsd/2007/08/security"; />
 </wsp:All>
</wsp:Policy>
On the policy model, did anyone consider Apache Neethi (http://ws.apache.org/commons/neethi/index.html)? It provides an API on top of WS-Policy documents. This might provide something in the context of a Policy model... 

Cheers,

3. policy editor
IMHO, the XEF policy editor doesn't have those restrictions, such as normal form, custom assertions. 
Am i right on this, David?

    3. Policy Editors.
       My vision here is the same as David's: both editors should be
    able to
    edit WS-Policy document, but will represent it differently for the
    user.
    But the question for me is: are we going to support any WS-Policy
    document without any restrictions?
       a) Should editors process ws-policies that are not in normal form
    and, optionally, transform them into normal form? (wtp based editor
    supports at the moment only extended variant of normal form, it of
    course should be improved).
       b) Are there any restrictions/requirements for custom assertions?
    (wtp based policy editor supports at the moment only predefined
    set of
    assertions, it should be extended as well).
       c) Are we going to proceed policy references?
