Description Greg Ritzinger 2005-02-07 20:34:17 UTC
Here is another comment, on variables:

In 2.4.6 b (this is workunit section) and elsewhere, there are
several sentences which can be read as if "cdL:getVariable" can
be performed to obtain a variable from any other role, resulting
in fetching the value of a variable at a remote site. In 2.4.6b
we find:

    ...the guard condition checks if the Variable "StockQuantity" at
    the "Retailer" Role is available and is greater than ....

If in the given workunit, an action by Seller is done and it
is Retailer's datum used for guards, then this results in a remote
read.

Claritication of this point during the final inspection period
will be useful.

Comment 2 Greg Ritzinger 2005-05-27 17:47:35 UTC
Clarification requested in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2005Mar/0029.html but no
response yet.  On telecom 26 April 05 it was clarified that the optional
roleType parameter is used to specify the role[Type] when this is not otherwise
clear from the context, but the getVariable function can not be used to do a
remote value fetch.
In section 2.4.6 changed
·	The WS-CDL function getVariable is used in the guard or repetition condition
to obtain the information of a Variable

To
·	The WS-CDL function getVariable is used in the guard or repetition condition
to obtain the value of a Variable at the specific role (i.e. it can not be used
to perform a remote value fetch)
