<Roland> http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/soapjms/tracker/actions/open
<scribe> no progress on any actions.
Does not appear that we're going to get any sign-off on the materials from Oracle, so we'll have to go recreate the FAQ.
Last phone call - discussed sending to IETF - but we'll have to wait on that.
eric: Unable to submit because IETF is not currently accepting - will resume accepting materials on the 17th of Nov.
(returning to open actions)
bhakti will look at the discussion from our mailing list to pull together materials.
roland: just waiting for two
things:
... update to URI spec
... and W3C process
... should be able to publish it around the end of next week
(2008-11-21)
... Suggested to Yves that we would close the last call on the
6th of January. We'll deal with issues as they arise.
eric: How is it that you hit upon the 6th of Jan?
roland: normally about a month, but because of the holidays, defering a little, and that is a typical day for a conf. call.
eric: Suggest adding a week, because the first few days in January will probably holidays
roland: OK - last call deadline will be 2009-01-13
(primarily about test cases)
roland: anyone have any plans to do work on testing in the near future?
eric: I've demonstrably not done the work - what can we do to light a fire under our feet?
phil: it is possible that we could find issues in the spec by writing the tests.
roland: executing the test cases
might find others.
... also will be calling for implementations, and that the test
cases can be supported by those implementations.
phil: In WebSphere - in 7.0
release that we just announced - it ought to have a correct
implementation of the spec.
... until we define all the test cases... and actually run
them, we won't know for sure.
... We had an effort before to define testing strategy, but we
couldn't do much, due to the differences in the runtimes
... so we decided to define at a higher level the test cases
that can be implemented in different ways by different
vendors.
... that's how we ended up with our template approach.
roland: What is requlred for
validating the spec from a W3C spec, and what is demonstrating
interoperability amongst products - two different things.
... If we want to go that extra step for interoperability, we
should decide that - do we want an "interoperability fest"?
phil: As an example of an interop
scenario - we could take two implementations - configure them
to use the same JMS provider, and assume that we had
implementations of test cases, we could test the interop by
running client on one, server on the other, and vice
versa.
... That's the sort of interop testing that WS-I does.
... what is the minimum that each runtime vendor will want to
do to demonstrate compatibility with the spec?
roland: Our conformance criteria state that two implementations with the same inputs will generate the same outputs.
peaston: Doesn't need to be a product, does it?
roland: no. we could build a custom piece of code, for that matter.
phil: If we have a commercial product, ought to use it, right?
roland: more implementations is better.
peaston: Sonic could show up with something not yet shipping.
roland: Could be something that never becomes a product.
peaston: Sounds like we should meet to have a "plug-fest"
roland: everyone should talk to their respective organizations to see what is feasible, and what timescale
phil: Lot of prep-work that would go into that
roland: yes - if we're getting together, a fair amount of planning required.
phil: Should we continue down the path we started earlier?
roland: we certainly need to reactive the work we've done earlier.
phil: Do we still believe this is the correct path to take?
peaston: Mock server and mock client?
phil: No - we backed off of that - define what a test case looks like, and vendors decide how to implement that. What's on our website is just an outline.
roland: might be good to do this for an appserver
phil: JavaEE AppServer products - someone could contribute a JEE application that implements those test-case definitions.
roland: of course, doesn't have to be exclusive.
phil: Since I'll need to do
something similar to that, potentially might be able to do it
in a way that I'll be able to make it public.
... certainly appreciate that there are other environments that
are not JEE
roland: any other comments on testing?
roland: I'll ask one - do we need a call next week? Propose that we skip next week unless something comes up that we need to deal with.
peaston: That would have our next meeting 2 days shy of Thanksgiving.
phil: I feel like we need to make
some progress on the testing effort.
... people should come back next week to talk about what the
testing effort might mean.
... alternatively skip the 25th.
peaston: Presumably we can proceed with test cases.
roland: we certainly can.
peaston: I'm happy to do one, but we need a bunch of them.
roland: I'll go back through and look at the assertions.
<scribe> ACTION: peaston to add a test case. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/11/11-soap-jms-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-51 - Add a test case. [on Peter Easton - due 2008-11-18].
phil: can send out the mechanics
of how to add test cases.
... it is checked into CVS. Should we have anyone defining one
committing changes - or should we have one editor
merging?
<scribe> ACTION: Yves - make sure everyone has CVS access for creating test cases. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/11/11-soap-jms-minutes.html#action02]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-52 - - make sure everyone has CVS access for creating test cases. [on Yves Lafon - due 2008-11-18].
roland: we will have a call next week, and decide next week whether we need a meeting the week after that.
