Jonathan:
Two WSDL WG related issues came up on the OGSi-wg call this afternoon. I
was wondering if we could insert a late addition to the meeting minutes.
a) WSDL 1.2 draft
As you may recall, the OGSi-WG is committed to a February 15th version 1.0
of the OGSi spec. We had hoped to pre-req a December WSDL 1.2 draft as
part of this work. We are very concerned about the pace of the WSDL 1.2
work, particularly as it appears to have slipped out to September 2003.
Can we get a sense of the possibility of the editors revising a January
draft of WSDL 1.2 and a sense of the possible contents of the draft?
Unfortunately, there is a disctinct possibility that the OGSi spec will in
fact pre-req WSDL 1.1 and define a GGF-specific extension of portType (eg
gsdl:portType) to support our open content needs (serviceData) and portType
inheritance. Although this might be a good short term approach, it may
produce a legacy we in GGF will have to live with after WSDL 1.2 becomes
final. We had hoped to minimize this potential by pre req'ing a draft WSDL
1.2
b) PortType inheritance
There was a serious concern brought up at the WSDL WG f2f in Boston and it
continues to cause concerns in the OGSi wg. This concern is related to
operation name scoping. It seemed (to me at least) that the current
proposal essentially asserted that operations would have global name scope.
Consider the following possibility (very pseudo WSDL):
PortType A:
operation foo (integer)
operation bar (float)
PortType B:
operation foo (integer)
operation bar (string)
PortType C, extends A,B
Now, it seems that portType C is illegal because of operation bar.
operation foo does not cause this illegality because its signature is the
same.
If we have understood the current direction for operation naming, this
seems to be an unnecessary restriction that might force portType designers
to resort to very unique names in their operations, or risk the potential
that their portTypes cannot be mixed in with other portTypes if even one
operation name collides.
One potential solution to this issue may be to revisit the operation
overloading issue that was resolved last summer. This might be the best
solution, although it is not good to revisit closed issues. Hopefully this
is sufficiently new information to support revisiting a closed issue.
