App Trends

Question

Stackoverlow decided to use OpenID, probably because of its simplicity, while others believe that information cards (for example, cards) are the best strategy in the sense that it is supported by large industry suppliers and is known to be more secure.

Are there libraries that a developer can add to a Java web application that will easily support both?

Answer 1

Information cards and OpenID are not mutually exclusive and can be used for an effective effect, as shown in this short video by Kim Cameron from Identity Weblog .

Answer 2

Here is a presentation that compares the two. There is even a link at the end for the Java implementation of CardSpace. However, this seems to be from the perspective of CardSpace, so be careful with prejudice.
