Issue 4394: Resolution

Hi JJ,

Thank you for your comment (logged as issue 4394 [1]).

>xs:string? xs:element? A reference to an extension to the WSDL2.0
>component model?

The WG considered your clarification question.

The {policy} property is not a string, element or reference. The value of the {policy} property is a policy. Policy is an instance of the policy data model defined in Section 3 'Policy Model' in the Web Services Policy Framework [2].

The usage of the phrase "The value of the {policy} property is a policy" in the Web Services Policy 1.5 - Attachment specification [3] is consistent with similar usages in the WSDL 20 Core and Adjuncts specifications [4][5].

The WG answered your question and closed issue 4394 without any action. We hope the above answer helps. Unless you let the WG know otherwise, the WG will assume that you agree with the resolution of this issue.
