RE: NEW ISSUE: Policy Application to Web services Model description i naccurate

RE "Policy is not limited to "conveying conditions on interaction of two
Web service end points." The requester side of the service offered by
Web service (endpoint) need not be another endpoint; could be any client
that is not necessarily another Web service endpoint. And the policy is
not limited to interaction between "two" Web service endpoints. It is
applicable to all clients / requesters that interact with the Web
service end point."

 

Good points. Thank you for carefully reviewing it.

 

I noticed that the proposed wording does not adequately capture the
number of entities interacting. Suggested rephrase is: "Applied in the
Web services model, policy is used to convey the conditions for an
interaction between a Web service requestor and a Web service provider."
This covers both a requestor -> a provider and multiple requestors -> a
provider.

 

PS: I'll update your entry in Bugzilla.

Title: Policy Application to Web services Model description inaccurate

 

Description: Section 3.4 of the WS-Policy 1.5 - Framework specification
has inaccurate statement regarding applicability of Policy to Web
services model. The following statement is not accurate.

 

"Applied in the Web services model, policy
<http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-framework.
html?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#policy#policy>  is used to
convey conditions on an interaction between two Web service endpoints."

 

Justification:

Policy is not limited to "conveying conditions on interaction of two Web
service end points." The requester side of the service offered by Web
service (endpoint) need not be another endpoint; could be any client
that is not necessarily another Web service endpoint. And the policy is
not limited to interaction between "two" Web service endpoints. It is
applicable to all clients / requesters that interact with the Web
service end point.

 

Target: WS-Policy 1.5 - Framework

 

Proposal - Rephrase the description not to imply any such restriction:

 

"Applied in the Web services model, policy
<http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-framework.
html?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#policy#policy>  is
typically used to convey conditions on interactions with Web service
endpoints."
