RE: [ws-caf] WS-Resource Framework

Dear Eric,

 

I agree with your comments. In fact, back in August 2003 we used WS-Context as an example of how stateful interactions and/or distributed units of work could be modelled. This was part of our proposals for a WSA-friendly framework for building Grid applications (http://www.neresc.ac.uk/ws-gaf).

I have the general impression of the OGSA specs as the equivalence of CORBA.

 

On the topic of the WS-Resource Framework in particular, I've looked through the specs and I think WS-Context could have been used, and it's unfortunate it wasn't.  I suppose the Resource Framework effort grew out of the Grid work however so it has a completely independent origin.

 

I also agree that I can't see a practical difference between context management in transactions and the context management defined for the Resource Framework.

 

It would be nice to try to converge these things at some point and in some organization - is that OASIS?
