Subject: RE: Before we get too far down this road...
So the emphasis is on
willingness to interact. I do something with the intent of something else
happening in response (or concluding a series of responses). From: Estefan, Jeff A [mailto:jeffrey.a.estefan@jpl.nasa.gov]
Just want to recap what we said
about Willingness in the RM before taking next steps. We should continue
to refer back to this passage as we press ahead. Willingness “Associated
with all service interactions is intent – it is an intentional act to
initiate and to participate in a service interaction. For example, if a service
consumer discovers a service via its description in a registry, and the
consumer initiates an interaction, if the service provider does not cooperate
then there can be no interaction. In some circumstances it is precisely the
correct behavior for a service to fail to respond – for example, it is
the classic defense against certain denial-of-service attacks. The extent of a
service participant’s willingness to engage in service interactions may
be the subject of policies. Those policies may be documented in the service
description. Willingness on the part of service providers and consumers to
interact is not the same as a willingness to perform requested actions. A
service provider that rejects all attempts to cause it to perform some action
may still be fully willing and engaged in interacting with the consumer.” |
