NEW ISSUE: Policy Application to Web services Model description i naccurate

Title: Policy Application to Web services Model description inaccurate

 

Description: Section 3.4 of the WS-Policy 1.5 - Framework specification has
inaccurate statement regarding applicability of Policy to Web services
model. The following statement is not accurate.

 

"Applied in the Web services model,
<http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-framework.html
?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#policy#policy> policy is used to
convey conditions on an interaction between two Web service endpoints."

 

Justification:

Policy is not limited to "conveying conditions on interaction of two Web
service end points." The requester side of the service offered by Web
service (endpoint) need not be another endpoint; could be any client that is
not necessarily another Web service endpoint. And the policy is not limited
to interaction between "two" Web service endpoints. It is applicable to all
clients / requesters that interact with the Web service end point.

 

Target: WS-Policy 1.5 - Framework

 

Proposal - Rephrase the description not to imply any such restriction:

 

"Applied in the Web services model,
<http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-framework.html
?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#policy#policy> policy is typically
used to convey conditions on interactions with Web service endpoints."
