PicketLink Extensions

PicketLink is a security framework that enables Java EE applications. Some readymade functionality such as User Account Registration,  Logout, SignIn services are needed by a typical JavaEE application.  A JavaEE application makes use of CDI, JAX-RS, JPA, EJB among other things. Some of the common services can be REST endpoints.

PicketLink Extensions is a project that contains functionality that does not belong to the PicketLink core project.  Ideally, users/developers should be able to decide whether they need PicketLink Extensions or not.
