RE: [ws-rx] discussion of issue i009

["Gilbert Pilz" <Gilbert.Pilz@bea.com>]

Chris,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to presume that an RMD will
implement one and only one type of DA for every sequence that it
services. Skirting the issue of sequence granularity for now, it still
seems fairly likely that different AS-AD pairs may share an RMD but
require different delivery assurances to function correctly.

I think your suggestion is a useful way for the RMD to declare which DAs
it is capable of and configured to support, but the actual DA that is in
effect for a particular sequence should be included in the
CreateSequenceResponse message.

p.s. For those wishing to see a use case that justifies the need for an
RMS to have knowledge of the DA in effect between the RMD and AD see
