Action items

<scribe> [DONE] 2007-01-04: Charlton to come up with a list of editorial comments and WSDL substantive issues.

Draft comments for WS-Policy

<Jonathan> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2007Jan/0071.html

Jonathan: let's skip the editorial issues
... let's look at number 11, policy intersection

Charlton: this is relevant to the client, not strictly relevant to WSDL. Don't see anything to select the intersection mode selection.
... if one entity understands one mode and an other is being required by the other entity, the intersection won't occur.

Jonathan: so, if I would attach a policy to WSDL, should we have a mode as well?

Charlton: if you want someone to always apply lax, there is no mechanism for that for the moment.
... there should be a mechanism for expressing this.

Philippe: this is up to the client to use one or the other intersection mode

Asir: it's at the discretion of the requester. I don't see this as a WSDL issue

Charlton: not trying to express that anyone other than the client can pick the mode, but the service might want to indicate which one to pick.

Jonathan: be isn't ignorable the mode?

Philippe: if you don't want the client to ignore your assertions, then don't use ignorable.

Jonathan: we would need a more developed use case to see the interop problem, but this seems a policy issue

Monica: some parts of the discussion will be handled in other documents in WS-Policy. Maybe that will help Charlton on this issue.

Charlton: I'm happy not including this in the WSDL comments.
... Number 12 is already filed as an issue in WS-Policy but we're expressing interest in it.
... the issue is about how to map parameters in policy attachments to WSDL 2.0.

Asir: is this a Last Call issue or an issue about the WSDL 1.1 Element identifiers?

Charlton: this is a last call issue?

s/\?//

scribe: it's a fragid issue.

Jonathan: I suggest we include it in the mail, as a side remark.
... I'll file the issues on behalf of the WSDL WG.
... all editorials. not 11.
... I'll leave the observations in this WG.

<scribe> ACTION: Jonathan to send WS-Policy comments to the WS-Policy WG [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/11-ws-desc-minutes.html#action01]

Interchange format draft note

<scribe> Postponed

MTOM Description

<Jonathan> http://www.w3.org/Submission/2006/SUBM-WS-MTOMPolicy-20061101/

Jonathan: W3C ack'd a submission on the MTOM policy assertion

Philippe: will be sent to XMLP. I *think* they want to work on this on the REC track.
... the XMLP WG will need a new charter if they do so.

Jonathan: following-up on this, I thought Canon was going to investigate the use of the MTOM policy assertion. Any news?

Jean-Jacques: no news yet.

Jonathan: the interesting point is if it is difficult to implement a WS-Policy that can only support one policy assertion.

Jean-Jacques: if we parse it, and check if the infoset only contains a subset, would that work?

Jonathan: you also want to support the PolicyReference element, which is the practice
... you also want to reject policy you don't understand.

Jean-Jacques: a bit more complex than XPath...

Jonathan: I also don't understand the resources constraint you're facing
... could one use XSLT to transform the policy into a direct WSDL extension?
... if that's true, the information content is equivalent
... Paul's proposal was to annotate the policies. Asir's proposal was that we don't need to annotate them at all.

<scribe> ACTION: Jean-Jacques to provide more analysis on how difficult it would be deal with a Policy that only contains an MTOM policy assertion [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/11-ws-desc-minutes.html#action02]

CR122

http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/5/cr-issues/#CR122

John: 6.7.2.2.2 talks about ignoreUncited. If the HTTP PUT or POST then the remainder gets serialized in the message body anyway, not repeated in the URI. So the use of the property isn't relevant here.

Jonathan: should we clarify that data could be thrown away?
... you're not only preventing the data from appearing in the URI, but you can also prevent it from appearing in the HTTP Body
... Youenn got the correct behavior
... I do believe it would be possible to write some WSDL that wouldn't interop because of implementation limitations.
... yes, it is the expected behavior. The user might trip on this. Closed with no action.

Resolution: close with no action

CR130

http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/5/cr-issues/#CR130

<monica> nick /monica

John: I had to make some decision on how to associate the tokens I find with the string
... should the spec be more specific?

<jkaputin> whttp:location="{{{town}}}"

<jkaputin> {{,{town},}}

<jkaputin> {{,{,town,}},}

John: two ways to interpret the example.

<Roberto> I'd say it's '{' + value of town + '}'

+1

John: with a strategy that looks for matching par curly braces first, the example will be ok.

Jonathan: the proposal is to match the pair of curly braces first.

Tony: I can't see a grammar where the second result would be correct

Jonathan: is there a common algorithm we can point to?

John: don't know any

Philippe: don't try using regular expression to handle http:location, you need a parser and a state table

{{town}}

<scribe> ACTION: Philippe to propose a grammar for http:location [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/11-ws-desc-minutes.html#action03]

CR131

http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/5/cr-issues/#CR131

John: should we deal with infault elements as well?

Jonathan: the binding only works for the 3 MEPs
... you can say that it applies to the infault in your extension as well.

Resolution: the HTTP 1.1 Binding aplies only to the 3 MEPs we have in the spec. Closed with no action

CR 133

http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/5/cr-issues/#CR133

Jonathan: For the SOAP response MEP the immediate destination is "the value of the WSDL {address} property, modified by the {http location} property following the rules described in section 6.7.2 Serialization as application/x-www-form-urlencoded."
... is it intentional that we are ignoring http:location?

"the SOAP request-response MEP the immediate destination is "the value of the WSDL {address} property of the Endpoint component."" . is it intentional that we are ignoring http:location?

John: so instance data would be serialized in the IRI

Jonathan: yes, but the full XML would still be part of the SOAP Body

John: might be useful in gateway/middleware scenarios
... so you don't have to parse the message body but still want to do dispatch

Jonathan: didn't see any reason to have it the way it is.

Proposal: the SOAP request-response MEP immediate destination is the value of the

WSDL {address} property, modified by the {http location} property following the

rules described in section 6.7.2 Serialization as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The entire instance data is serialized in the SOAP Body.

Resolution: proposal adopted.

CR 140

John: What happens if the MEP allows multiple input messages or infaults as well as input messages?
... there is an issue on how to associate the element name with the input data.

Jonathan: we only define the property for the 3 MEPs.

Resolution: closed.

CR 141

http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/5/cr-issues/#CR141

Jonathan: this is a duplicate of 130 since Philippe will come up with a grammar.

Resolution: will be resolved with the resolution of 130. Closed (duplicate).

CR119

wsdl: binding/wsdl:operation/@whttp:queryParameterSeparator is missing in

the HTTP binding syntax summary while present in section 6.4.4.

Resolution: agreed. needs to be fixed.

CR 120

Jonathan: It does make sense to add #none
... the SOAP Response MEP can only be used with the IRI style or with an input message of #none.
... sounds reasonable.

Resolution: agreed. Needs to be fixed.

CR 121

Support for deprecation.

Resolution: could be done through extensibility or in V.Next. Closed.
