The DFC serves as the Server APIs in D6 from my understanding. You can use them from a client to call the server, but you should be able to make any desired calls within the Server Process with the DFC. However, I will defer to someone more in the know.

As for SAML and such. I suspect I know the answer, but I will defer for now.

Do you have a sense as to whether the DFS specifically supports SAML and WS-Federation or generically supports WS-Security?

To be clear, EMC is ponying up prize money, too. We’re grateful for BEA’s participation. Most importantly, we’re looking forward to all the forthcoming entries/submissions to the contest. You should seriously consider entering!
