This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The features of WS-ResourceTransfer are a natural extension of WS-Transfer and really should be part of the WS-Transfer spec itself. The reason for the current split is mainly history. Now would be the time to merge the fetures of RT into T so that we remove the need for an additional specification and reduce the complexity for the implementators and end users. Proposal: Move the following features from RT in T: - Fragment support Pull would then become: <wst:Get Dialect="xs:anyURI"?> <wst:Expression ...> xs:any </wst:Expression> * </wst:Get> Note: if Dialect is not present then wst:Get acts like it does today. In other words, the child of wst:Get becomes the full representation of the resource. PullResponse would then becomes: <wst:GetResponse> <wst:Result ...> xs:any </wst:Result> * </wst:GetResponse> <wst:Put Dialect="xs:anyURI"?> <wst:Fragment Mode="Modify|Insert|Remove"> <wst:Expression>xs:any</wst:Expression> ? <wst:Value ...>xs:any</wst:Value> ? </wst:Fragment> + </wst:Put> Note: if Dialect is not present then wst:Put acts like it does today. In other words, the child of wst:Put would becomes the full representation of the resource. Create would become: <wst:Create Dialect="xs:anyURI"?> <wst:Fragment> <wsmex:Metadata> ... </wsmex:Metadata> ? <wst:Expression>xs:any</wst:Expression> ? <wst:Value ...>xs:any</wst:Value> </wst:Fragment> * </wst:Create> Note: if Dialect is not present then wst:Put acts like it does today. In other words, the child of wst:Create would becomes the full representation of the resource. - Move over the Dialects - Move all faults associated with these features. Note: if we do this then some of the other issues I've opened about BP compliant will go away because this already adds a wrapper/GED to the child of the env:Body.
