Hopefully you have seen my post on learning Sun IdM using UML. Here it is http://objectsource.com/blogs/2010/02/understanding-sun-idm-using-uml/
Combining that UML centric/domain driven idea with existing VIDT and deriving inspiration from Naked Objects (and similar) framework, I came up with a novel concept for next generation VIDT. This approach will take VIDT a level higher and would solve additional problems that VIDT cannot solve as is. I developed the approach on my own time – based on my understanding of Sun IdM, VIDT, Java, JavaEE and of course OO. I proposed it to the Sun management, the idea was accpeted, but nobody had the commitment to take a goose laid golden eggs (meaning billable – that is me) and put on a project that would take the VIDT tool to next level. The idea was that apart from travelling every week and working insance hours, I could as well contribute to developing the product. That was too much to chew at once.
Anyway, a more detailed explanation of this approach will be provided at a later date. For now, enjoy the presentation below. It is chock full of ideas.
