Re: [Bug 8286] New: description of Subscription End ambiguous
You're right. I was focusing too much on this one aspect (SubscriptionEnd) and not thinking about all the other messages that might not get sent in this situation.
I still have some editorial tweaks to Ram's wording. Here's my version:
If the event source terminates a subscription unexpectedly, and it supports the use of the wse:EndTo EPR, and the wse:EndTo EPR was present in the wse:Subscribe message for that subscription (see 4.1 Subscribe), the wse:SubscriptionEnd message MUST be sent to the endpoint referenced by that EPR. The message MUST be of the following form:

Hey Gil,
recall that earlier in the week there was a thread on this topic where we talked about how this situation is pretty much true for any outgoing message. If the service crashes, or is going down, any pending outgoing message might not be able to be sent. So, in that respect SubscriptionEnd isn't special. There's an implied "out" in all of the WS* specs that the "MUST be sent" type of requirements really only apply as long as the endpoint is able to (ie. isn't dead ;-) - I think Ram used the term "best effort". So, I think the text Ram was proposing works.

Re: [Bug 8286] New: description of Subscription End ambiguous
Ram,
I'm having a bit of trouble sorting out who's text is who below. In any case, I object to the following:
If the event source terminates a subscription unexpectedly, it supports wse:EndTo semantics, and the wse:EndTo EPR was present in the Subscribe message for that subscription (see 4.1 Subscribe), the SubscriptionEnd message MUST be sent to the endpoint referenced by that EPR. The message MUST be of the following form:
You brought up the case in which an Event Source is terminated (kill -9) before it has the chance to send any/all of the SubscriptionEnd messages for its active subscriptions. I think this is an realistic scenario and we need to allow for it. Specifically Subscribers/Event Sinks need to be aware that even if (a) the Event Source supports EndTo and (b) the Subscriber includes EndTo in the Subscribe request and (c) EndTo is valid, reachable, etc. - there is still a possibility that they might not get a SubscriptionEnd message due to the circumstances above.
I suggest:
If the Event Source terminates a subscription unexpectedly, and it supports the use of wse:EndTo, and the wse:EndTo EPR was present in the Subscribe message for that subscription (see 4.1 Subscribe), the SubscriptionEnd message SHOULD be sent to the endpoint referenced by that EPR. The message MUST be of the following form:
Note there are circumstances (e.g. the forcible termination of the Event Source) under which it might not be possible for the Event Source to transmit the SubscriptionEnd message.

RE: [Bug 8286] New: description of Subscription End ambiguous
One of the reasons why a SHOULD is used for SubscriptionEnd message is because it is possible that a service may suffer abrupt shutdown and hence may not be able to send the terminal message. Besides, a service simply may not support SubscriptionEnd.
I can see two possible ways to tackle this issue:
1. Keep it optional
a. Leave the specification as is - that is, the SubscriptionEnd SHOULD be sent.
2. Keep it conditional [Gil's proposal (attached) as clarified below]
a. Service behavior
i. The enumeration data source may or may not support sending EnumerationEnd.
ii. If EnumerationEnd is supported, the data source will advertise this via the enumeration policy.
iii. If the service advertises support for EnumerationEnd and the client sends EndTo, it must make a best attempt to send EnumerationEnd.
iv. If the service does NOT advertise support for EnumerationEnd and the client sends EndTo, it must generate an SubscriptionEndNotSupported fault.
b. Client behavior
i. Depending on whether the service supports EnumerationEnd or not, the client sends an EndTo.
I am continuing to think about other possible ways.
Thanks.

Li,
I tend to agree. I think there's always an implicit exception with any MUST in the specs because if the system crashes and doesn't recover its entire state then clearly the MUST will probably not happen. So I interpret these things as "if you're still up and running then you MUST...". The reason I was ok with calling out this one case is because this message/situation is specifically for the case where something really bad happened. But, I can go with your proposal to go with the MUST w/o the "unless..." part - it seems less confusing.
thanks

RE: [Bug 8286] New: description of Subscription End ambiguous
Eventing Current text:
If the event source terminates a subscription unexpectedly, a
SubscriptionEnd SOAP message SHOULD be sent to the endpoint reference
indicated when the subscription was created (see 4.1 Subscribe). This
endpoint reference MUST refer to an endpoint that supports the
SubscriptionEndPortType portType.
Proposal:
If the event source terminates a subscription unexpectedly and the
wse:EndTo EPR was present in the Subscribe message for that subscription
(see 4.1 Subscribe), the SubscriptionEnd message MUST be sent to the
endpoint referenced by that EPR unless the event source is incapable of
transmitting any messages at all.
I understand that the proposed change is to narrow the scope of
exception to the requirement. However, I also feel that MUST + exception
= SHOULD.
I think MUST always means "absolute requirement" which may not be
achieved by a conformant implementation due to unforeseen situations.
If we adopt the proposal, should we also check exceptions to all MUST?
For example, the (unless .... incapable ...) seems applicable to the
following requirement in WS-E 4.1 as well:
[Body]/wse:Subscribe/wse:Delivery/wse:NotifyTo
This is an OPTIONAL element. When present, this element indicates that
notifications MUST be sent to the EndpointReference identified by this
element.
I think it's better to just say MUST without any exception, or use
SHOULD, but not the mixed.
Thanks.
Li

Re: [Bug 8286] New: description of Subscription End ambiguous
This is unacceptable because the Subscriber/Event Sink has no way of knowing if SubscriptionEnd is supported. It supplies an EndTo EPR, the Subscribe request succeeds, it gets some Notifications, then the subscription terminates unexpectedly (something it doesn't know about), then . . . nothing.
If support for SubscriptionEnd is really optional (something I don't remember to agreeing to - but my memory is shot), then it seems to me that we should:
1.) Define a new fault for a Subscribe message that includes an EndTo EPR along the lines of wse:SubscriptionEndNotSupported.
2.) Add a parameter to the wse:EventSource policy assertion that indicates support for SubscriptionEnd.

Section 4.5 "Subscription End" starts with the following paragraph:
"If the event source terminates a subscription unexpectedly, SubscriptionEnd SOAP message SHOULD be sent to the endpoint reference indicated when the subscription was created (see 4.1 Subscribe). This endpoint reference MUST refer to an endpoint that supports the SubscriptionEndPortType portType. The message MUST be of the following form:"
The "SHOULD" in this sentence is ambiguous. Does it refer to the act of transmitting the message or does it refer to where the message is transmitted?
In both cases this should be a "MUST"; the SubscriptionEnd message MUST be transmitted, and it MUST be transmitted to the endpoint referenced by the EndTo EPR.
The sentence "This endpoint reference MUST refer to an endpoint that supports the SubscriptionEndPortType portType" is inappropriate and redundant; this is a constraint on the event sink, not the event source. This same constraint is already documented in the description of /wse:Subscribe/wse:EndTo.
Proposal: replace the above paragraph with the following:
"If the event source terminates a subscription unexpectedly and the wse:EndTo EPR was present in the Subscribe message for that subscription (see 4.1 Subscribe), the SubscriptionEnd message MUST be sent to the endpoint referenced by that EPR. The message MUST be of the following form:"
