6. Issues resolution and proposals
----------------------------------
(i) Fault Handling - merging of two proposals
                        http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0013.html
                        http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0026.html

Peter: Faults being handled as interactions was GB's proposal.
Peter: Have you thought of the other way around?
Gary: Not really.
Nick: Problem with treating faults as something that does not cause exceptions. Faults in WSDL should be xlated into exceptions into the target language. If a fault then something exceptional is happening.
Gary: Suggests that BPEL does/can be used to do it this way (interacts and choice as opposed to exceptions)
Nick: Not correct. It is just a sugar on the syntax.
Steve: When is a fault a fault and when is a fault not a fault wrt a CDL. It is clear in a WSDL file what a fault is. But it is less clear that this should propagate into a CDL.
BobH: in CDL, doesn't triggering the exception block have consequences, e.g. disabling finalizers?
Martin: We can do this with the language today and it is just syntactic style.
Scribe Note: Gary said something but I couldn't hear it
BobH:once you're in the exception block, how can you recover and continue?
Gary: An exception block is not the same syntactically as an interact and choice approach because of the consequences of exceptions (see Bob's comments above)
Martin: So would a half way house be to note an fault and decide (or not) to raise it?
Gary: Yes that would be a good half way house.
Nick: Describes proposal with ExceptionInformationType.
Martin: How do we resolve this?
Peter: Doesn't it mean that you either support the idea that a WSDL fault maps to an exception or it doesn't?
BobH: reverse question:  can an ExceptionInformationType represent somethign that is not a wsdl fault?
Peter: says that Nick's proposal says that it could map to a WSDL fault type
BobH: but could also map to a normal message?
Nick: answer is yes, can point to a simple XSD element

Steve: Lets move to a straw poll. Please vote if you wish to have the option if treating WSDL fault message at end points as something other than an exception in WS-CDL
Steve: Let voting commence:
gritzinger: +1
charlton: +1
Steve: +1
Monica: +1
Gary: +1
Abbie: +1

Steve: Six voted to allow WSDl faults to be treated as things other than exceptions in CDL

Steve: Now vote if you wish WSDL fault messages always to be treated as exceptions in WS-CDL
Steve: Let voting commence:
nick: +1
Peter: +1
Martin: +1 
BobH: +1
Abbie: +1
Steve: Five vote for WSDl faults only mapping to exceptions in CDL

Nick: My proposal can accomodate both views and can change accordingly.
Martin: suggest all look at Nick's proposal to see how can be changed to accomodate the ability for WSDL faults to not throw an exception and adopt Nick's as base line and Gary's as guide for ammendment. Gary to do

NEW ACTION: Gary to see if he can put together a modified Nick proposal to include the relaxed fault handling

Gary: asked how hard would it be to add local scopes (inline choreographies) into CDL
Peter: is the compromise (before we got to inline etc) : wsdl fault is always an exceptionType but can have causeException=false in the interaction that deals with it
Nick and Gary to discuss inline issue before next weeks call
BobH: or is it that wsdl fault does not need to map to exceptionType?


(ii) WSDL support:
	http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0027.html
Steve: does anyone wish to object to the proposal?
PROPOSAL ACCEPTED

(iii) Remove the initiate flag on the Interation
Proposal for removing the initiate flag has been removed based on clarification from Nick.

Nick: Provided some new text for Choreography lifeline section, wants to vote on it
	Proposal is at the end of http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0049.html
Steve: proposal is not on the agenda, so doesn't want to vote on it
Martin: suggests put on agenda for next week

NEW ACTION: Nick's proposal to be on the agenda next week

(iv) Distributed choice (added to agenda):
Peter: need for clarification 
Steve: priority mechanism will not be submitted for this version
Martin: suggests this issue should be closed
Martin: Nick's example should be added to Part 2 or Primer
Distributed choice ISSUE now CLOSED
