[12:06] Bryan Aupperle: Topic: Action Items
[12:06] Bryan Aupperle: 20110519-01 - Pending.  To be discussed later in call
[12:07] Bryan Aupperle: Topic: Bindings 153
[12:07] Bryan Aupperle: http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-153 
write new tests for TA-20021 TA-20022 TA-20028 TA-20032TA-20034 TA-20035 TA-40007 TA-50008 TA-50009 
Status: Proposed outline resolution in JIRA; partial direction agreed for some statements.
[12:08] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: I have sent a note to the list of the optional normative statements in the WS spec.
[12:09] Bryan Aupperle: Simon: There is significant overlap in this list with the normative statements in issue 153.
[12:09] Tom Rutt (Fujitsu): http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sca-bindings/email/archives/201106/msg00002.html
[12:10] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: I did not realize that we had discussed some of these statements already.
[12:10] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: The issue not really not about test cases, more about the optional statements.
[12:12] anish: i disagree, the core issue is about tests and not about optionality. They are related, but different.
[12:12] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: I would prefer to have a separate issue targeted at the spec.
[12:13] Bryan Aupperle: Simon: There are a few differences.  And neither is a subset of the other.
[12:14] anish: for some of the stmts in issue 153, we converted should/mays to musts and some we removed them
[12:14] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: Did we cover the complete list in issue 153?
[12:14] anish: i.e., in terms of direction, that is
[12:14] Bryan Aupperle: Simon: We did not.
[12:15] Mike Edwards: Mike's email about optional normative statements: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/201106/msg00002.html
[12:16] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: We should finish going through 153.
[12:17] Bryan Aupperle: Anish summarizes the outcome of the discussion last week.
[12:20] Mike Edwards: My initial proposal is to make BWS40007 non-normative
[12:20] Bryan Aupperle: Discussion resumes on BWS40007...
[12:22] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: We should convert this to a MUST for interop.
[12:23] Bryan Aupperle: Simon: We should have Eric's input and he is not on the call.
[12:24] Bryan Aupperle: No conclusion reached.
[12:24] Bryan Aupperle: BWS50010
[12:27] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: This is a MUST statement.  Should add a test using the WS policy assertion.
[12:29] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: For this to be testable there would have to be an alternative callback protocol that could be used in an observable manner.
[12:30] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: For example, Tuscany always used the protocol for callback independent of the policy assertion.
[12:34] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: And actually this brings up a bigger concern.  WSCB itself is optional, and we not have a defined way to differentiate the different failure modes in the test suite.
[12:34] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: There needs to be a list of WSCB tests that only need to be run if an implementation claims to support WSCB.
[12:36] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: Even with that, it is not clear how to write a test detecting which protocol might be used if an alternative protocol were to be developed.
[12:38] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: It is not untestable, just very difficult to test.
[12:41] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: Adding an assertion to a WSDL should be done.  But I see that this is not a complete test.
[12:41] Bryan Aupperle: More consideration needed.
[12:42] Bryan Aupperle: BWS50013
[12:42] Mike Edwards: "SCA runtimes are not required to support or understand WS Policy - untestable"
[12:42] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: This could be covered by a simple static test.
[12:43] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: WS-Policy support is not required so we cannot write a meaningful test.
[12:44] Bryan Aupperle: Ashok: Correct.  SCA intents have to be supported but we do not require any particular policy language.
[12:44] anish: http://docs.oasis-open.org/opencsa/sca-bindings/sca-wsbinding-1.1-spec.pdf
[12:46] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: So the question is if a runtime supports WSCB, is it required to support WS-Policy and the assertion?
[12:46] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: This is not covered in the normative statements, but I need to review the explanatory text.
[12:48] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: This gets back to the overall optionality of WSCB and the need to understand what failing a test means.
[12:48] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: I do not find any requirement for supporting WS-Policy if WSCB is supported.
[12:50] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: Key is taht runtime must not silently ignore the policy assertion.
[12:52] Bryan Aupperle: Ashok: As I understand the problem, we do not require support for WS-Policy but we use WS-Policy to control the use of WSCB.  So an implementation that uses a different policy language need not understand the policy assertion.
[12:53] Bryan Aupperle: Simon: This will take more discussion.
[12:53] Bryan Aupperle: Ashok: It would help if someone created a straw man to start the discussion.
[12:54] Bryan Aupperle: Tom: We could require understanding just the one assertion without full WS-Policy support.
[12:54] Bryan Aupperle: Mike: Again, we do not require use of or even support of the assertion.
[12:56] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: Problem with requiring support for just the one assertion it that it is contained within a s PS-Policy element.  You really have to support WS-Policy to be able to even understand the assertion.
[12:57] Bryan Aupperle: Anish: WSDL requires can be a help here.  I.e. if you do not understand WS-Policy and WSCB then you must not accept the WSDL.
[12:58] Bryan Aupperle: Simon:  We need to continue this discussion.
