Description Katy Warr 2009-01-21 14:44:34 UTC
We should consider clarifying or recommending how policy should be associated with a WS-MetadataExchange GetMetadata request.  ('Policy' might be existing policies such as WS-SecurityPolicy or potential new assertions, as described in issue 6406 here: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6406).

A GetMetadata operation's policy cannot be attached within the Web service endpoint's WSDL because: 
In order for a client to establish the WS-Mex GetMetadata policy, it would need to issue a GetMetadata(WSDL) request at the web service endpoint...but in order to issue a GetMetadata request at the endpoint it would need to establish the WS-Mex GetMetadata policy...

The issue here is: what is the correct way to bootstrap the bootstrap (without entering an infinite loop)?

Comment 7 Robert Freund 2010-03-09 21:54:05 UTC
resolved with the proposal at http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/ra/10/03/MOAPv2.zip
with an additional example and explanatory test (12.2) described in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2010Mar/0000.html
and the addition of an editor's note saying that these parts are still under discussion in the WG at example 9.1, text in 11.1 (nexted policy assertions) and example 8.5
