The WS-RA WG reviewed your issue on "Enum: Support WS-Management's optimization of Enumerations with small result sets" [1] on May 11th [2] and 12th [3] 2010, during its face to face meeting. After discussion, the WG agreed to close this issue with no change to the WS-Enumeration specification. The following points were made: 1. The described use case (small number of items) is directly contrary to the use case that motivates WS-Enumeration ("transferring large data sets over SOAP"). If it is known that the representation of a resource will fit into a single SOAP message, that resource should be modeled using WS-Transfer. 2. Folding the Pull operation into the Enumerate operation (as WS-Man v1.1 does) dramatically increases the complexity of both the specification and implementations. 3. Removing the Enumerate operation and folding its semantics into the Pull operation (as the WG also considered) adds less complexity than (2) but creates potentially undesirable side effects such as removing the ability to create an enumeration in a way that doesn't pull any data items. 4. The benefits of supporting the optimization (one less round trip) were outweighed by cost of increased complexity. Please indicate via an email response to the WS-RA public comment list [4] as to whether this resolution of your issue is satisfactory.
