RE: Two logical WSDL documents describing the same service

Richard

this issue has been the subject of much debate during the 
life of the WG, and was discussed during last week's F2F:

[[
Single interface per service issues:
    - Issue LC73: WSDL Last Call issue [2]
    - Issue LC75n: WSDL 2.0 Last Call Comments [3]
    - Issue LC89k: Comments [4]
    - Roberto's proposal [5]
      Majority in favour of reopening?

 [3] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/#LC75n
 [4] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/#LC89k
 [5] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Nov/0094.html
]]

I suggest you observe the outcome of this discussion (the minutes
have yet to be published) and if you have new information, consider 
raising a separate Last Call comment (though officially the deadline 
has expired).

Subject: RE: Two logical WSDL documents describing the same service


Hello,

I picked up on this thread from the document WSDL 2.0 Primer, 21 Dec
2004.

I was particularly coming from looking at WSRF proposal.

One would expect a service (in a loose sense) to manage more than one
resource-type.
E.g a file repository managing a file resource-type and a directory
resource-type.
But a resource type is characterised by a resource-property document
An interface/port-type can identify a resource-property document, but
only one
A service can have only one interface, and thus can manage only mange
one-resource type.
Unless our repository service end-point has two WSDLs, defining a
service for files and a service for directories.

Any comments on this?

Richard
