All,
I am working on the Editors action, #43, working group action #108, and I
have a question.
This is the text in the AI....
ACTION-108
Add adopted guidance to Guidelines document for Issue 3577
2006-09-20: Adopted text for Issue 3577 is: "If you don't recognize a
QName, you cannot guarantee anything about the compatibility of the
intersected alternatives."
2006-09-21: Corresponding Editors' AI is (43):
http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/wspolicyeds/actions/43
in the bug 3577......it says .... to add text to the Framework....
Resolved at Sept F2F meeting:
http://www.w3.org/2006/09/13-ws-policy-minutes.html
Add text like the following to the Framework:
a) If domain-specific intersection alg is required you will know that by
lookig
at the Qname.
b) If domain-specific intersection alg is required you will know that by
lookig
at the Qname.
What we currently have in the Guidelines is the following section....
Comparison of Nested and Parametrized Assertions
The main consideration for selecting parameters or nesting
of assertions, is that the framework intersection
algorithm processes nested alternatives, but does not consider
parameters in its algorithm.
Domain authors should recognize that the framework can
yield multiple assertions of the same type. The QName
of the assertion is the only vehicle for the framework to
match a specific assertion, NOT the contents of the
element. If the assertion is a parameterized assertion the
authors must understand that this type of assertion will
require additional processing by consumers in order to
disambiguate the assertions or to understand the semantics of
the name value pairs, complex content, attribute values
contribution to the processing. Therefore, if the domain
authors want to delegate the processing to the framework,
utilizing nesting should be considered. Otherwise, domain
specific comparison algorithms would need to be devised and be
delegated to the specific domain handlers that are not visible
to the WS-Policy framework. The tradeoff is the generality
vs. the flexibility and complexity of the comparison expected
for a domain.
Is this sufficient?
Is there a related change needed to the Framework?
thanks.
Maryann
