I've checked in what I take to be all of Dave's requested changes to the
WSA examples in the F2F minutes [1], except that for the reason mentioned
in my note below, I did not do anything with the WSDL. I can still add a
link to an email if Dave decides to post one. Dave: thanks for all the
help with these.
Also, I noticed that [2], which is linked from the minutes, is not
currently world-readable. We should probably fix that, but since it's
Henry's and Dave's draft, I wanted to check with them first. Anyway, I
think these minutes are ready to be considered as the formal record of the
meeting. BTW: if you reply on a matter unrelated to WSA, please drop
public-ws-addressing from the cc:. Thank you.

Subject: RE: TAG requests help with examples of
WS-Addressing
Excellent, thank you Dave. Just the feedback I was looking for.
This information presents us with a bit of a choice in editing the
minutes, either:
1. As a true record of the meeting, the new information should not be
recorded, but we could add an editor's link to your note with the
corrections. Advantage: a true record of the meeting Disadvantage: the
minutes live on with misleading examples.
-or-
2. We could make the corrections (except for the ones in your point 7
which, as you suggest we can mention in a note) but somehow highlight
them. E.g.
<wsa:epr>
<wsa:address>http://example.com/diskcontroller</wsa:address>
<wsa:referenceParameter> <! **Added during editing **>
<d:driveNum>3</d:driveNum>
</wsa:referenceParameter> <! **Added during editing **>
</wsa:epr>
Advantages: the minutes allow you to see what was discussed in the room
and also the corrections Disadvantages: visually cumbersome.
-or-
3. Just make the corrections, and put in just a brief mention that the
examples include some corrections made after the meeting, but with no
indication of where they are.
I don't like having #1 because the point of this exercise was to get
correct examples out for reference. Nonetheless, as editor of the
minutes, I feel I need the group's permission to provide anything other
than a true record of the meeting. My preference is for #3, next choice
#2. I'll take any input that comes in within the next day or so.
Otherwise, I'll assume that silence is assent to my choice of either #3 or
#2 (likely #3). OK?

Well, the WSDL wasn't discussed in the meeting in any detail at all, so
I'd rather not hoist it up to the ungrey part of the record. That said,
if you'd like to post an email or a note in the w3c archives with a clean
WSDL, I'd be glad to add a link the minutes saying something like: "DaveO
has since given us a clean copy of corresponding WSDL at <link>". Does
that sound like a good way to do it?
Thanks.

Subject: RE: TAG requests help with examples of
WS-Addressing
Some corrections.
1.
<wsa:epr>
<wsa:address>http://example.com/diskcontroller</wsa:address>
<d:driveNum>3</d:driveNum>
</wsa:epr>
Should be
<wsa:epr>
<wsa:address>http://example.com/diskcontroller</wsa:address>
<wsa:referenceParameter>
<d:driveNum>3</d:driveNum>
</wsa:referenceParameter>
</wsa:epr>
2.
<soap:header>
<d:driveNum>3</d:driveNum>
</soap:header>
Should be:
<soap:header>
<d:driveNum wsa:isReferenceParameter="true">3</d:driveNum>
</soap:header>
3.
Add ReferenceParameter into
<wsa:replyTo mustUnderstand="true">
<wsa:address>http://example.com/orderingClient</wsa:address>
<d:orderRequestID>3</d:orderRequestID>
</wsa:replyTo>
4.
Add isReferenceParameter to
<d:orderRequestID>3</d:orderRequestID>
5.
I had also posted a WSDL fragment and I think that would be really
useful, to show how WSDL relates to the messages
<binding name="reservationSOAPBinding"
<DaveO> interface="tns:reservationInterface"
<DaveO> type="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/wsdl/soap12"
<DaveO> wsoap:protocol="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP">
<DaveO> <wsaw:UsingAddressing wsdl:required="true" />
<DaveO> <operation ref="tns:opCheckAvailability"
<DaveO> wsoap:mep="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/request-response"
/>
<DaveO> <fault ref="tns:invalidDataFault" wsoap:code="soap:Sender" />
<DaveO> </binding>
I can provide a more appropriate wsdl binding and interface if desired.
6. minor nits
wsa:Address, EndpointReference, ReplyTo should be capitalized.
7. We didn't include the mandatory wsa:Action soap header block, and
that should be noted. I don't think we need to add it in as it dilutes
the EPR message. We also don't include messageId (which is needed in
the ReplyTo case) and the To field - which is discussed later on.
Cheers,
Dave
