In October, Sun hosted technical forum for the 20 J2EE licenees where representatives from the vendors gathers for three days with Sun architects and engineers to get last minute details on J2EE 1.3. Items discussed included issues with J2EE compatibility such as the CTS tests, cross server interoperability and more. Its nice to see how the J2EE 'providers' work together behind the scenes.

Riiiiight...
Bet JBoss wasn't invited to this little industry love-fest.

AFAIK, JBoss is not a J2EE Licensee (because of the fees, I imagine).

JAAS is already part of the J2EE spec.
See for example:
BEA AS:

and for jBoss of course ;-)

Those are proprietary implementations - not portable, not part of the J2EE spec.
Also, if you look closely, Weblogic only supports authentication, not authorization. -

It supports both authentication and authorization -

J2EE 1.3 spec.
Section 2.6, "J2EE Standard Services"
JAAS is defined in 2.6.13
Section 6.1 as well, "Required API"
and 6.13 as well.
To sum up, you cannot miss it.

Thierry, my humble apologies. You were wrong about one thing though, apparently I <i>could</i> miss it ;-)
Also, following your link to the BEA implementation, I find "Note: The authorization component of JAAS is not provided in WebLogic Server." Is there a service pack or patch that enables authorization?

JAAS is a required API but implementation of the API is not required. Like JMS in J2EE 1.2. So no vendor is forced to build it's own security model around JAAS.
