joid is simple and has barely any dependencies, openid4java has a
bunch of baggage like Spring and everything it carries along (at least
last time I looked). This is the very reason I chose joid.

makes sense.

To be honest I am currently using openid4java because I had trouble
integrating joid, but as you are saying there are quite some
dependencies for openid4java ...

Maybe it was easier for me to use openid4java because they have quite
some nice documentation

http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/

and in particular

http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/wiki/SampleConsumer

As soon as I will have some more time I will try again on joid.

Thanks

What were your problems integrating?

Hmmmm, I find their APIs awkwardly designed and very
poorly documented.

Did you see src/examples/consumer?

I don't consider myself gone ;-)

when integrating the OpenID consumer, one problem I had was verifying
the provider response, e.g. with livejournal.

I had to do this quickly and gave openid4java a try and it worked
instantly, so blame me for not being patient enough ;-)

I can't say, but for me it was more important to get it running as part
of the web application Yanel.

But I did it in a way, such that we can easily switch to another
implementation as for instance joid :-)

i love openid4java more, because the example .

i can see that joid is more API than openid4java.

but both have smiliar use of course for OpenID stuff

Spring dependency of openid4java is optional.

More about the dependencies, see http://alchim.sourceforge.net/openid4java/
