[OpenID] ANN: OpenID4Java 0.9.4 - OpenID draft 12 and AX draft 7 support

[Steven Livingstone]

This is a very good idea.
 
This week i installed the PHP version on IIS, only to find a README after a decent number of hours (wasn't easy to set up as i have zero PHP knowledge) that said no authentication or anything was available. I can understand why for illustration purposes, but the next logical step is to add this kind of stuff so you can get a full implementation one can start using.
 
I looked at the Java version too only to realize it seems to be similar, so i like your suggestion :)

I had the chance to browse the API a little bit and OpenID4Java looks extremely promising, specially since it really seems to be up2date including the various extensions. Hadn't any time to install and do some coding, which leads me actually to make a suggestion, which some community member could pick up perhaps:How about providing a complete client and server implementation with all the whistle and bells which could be configured in a config or from DB? I could imagine that once something installable would be available, it actually would be used much more (including sql scripts etc). I could also imagine, to provide some hooks for popular forums and blogs, i.e. redirect authentication to the OpenID4Java client and post the result back...Specially the availability of extensions like Attribute Exchange could improve the (security) status of OpenID further, meaning that actual implementations are using it.
