Will applications built with tools available at openLiberty interoperate with other Liberty Alliance deployments?
Yes, the open source tools available at openLiberty.org will allow developers to leverage the security and privacy features of Liberty Web Services to develop applications that can interoperate with Liberty-based deployments worldwide. Liberty Web Services allow SAML 2.0 assertions to be used as security tokens, incorporates WS-Addressing to enable asynchronous messaging capabilities, features subscription and notification capabilities, and supports identity tokens to provide a structured mechanism to refer to a user inside the network. These are some of the ID-WSF capabilities developers will be able to leverage when building interoperable Web services based on tools available at openLiberty.org. Additionally, we fully expect the code developed at openLiberty to participate in the Liberty Alliance interoperability testing program.
