RE: [ws-rx] Issue 060 ammendment to current proposal

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

This seems to be both redundant and potentially confusing. At this point in the document we are referring to "the protocol" in an abstract sense. The introductory sentence states "During the lifetime of the protocol . . ". A Sequence is a lower level construct for managing the lifetime of "the protocol". The AS and AD need not (and possibly "should not") have any knowledge of the Sequence.

On a side note, I think the Sequence scoping of the message numbers should be clear from this invariant.

 

How about:

Replace "For each message that is to be delivered reliably ..."

with "In a Sequence, for each message that is to be delivered reliably ..."

 

Thanks,

The motion currently on the table is to change first invariant under section 2.3 to:

 

The RM Source MUST assign each message to be delivered reliably a message number (defined below) beginning at 1 and increasing by exactly 1 for each subsequent message to be delivered reliably.

 

In http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-rx/email/archives/200511/msg00152.html Chris made the following suggestion for the same text.

 

The RM Source MUST assign each reliable message in the Sequence a message number (defined below) beginning at 1 for the first message sent by the Application Source and increasing by exactly 1 for each subsequent reliable message sent by the Application Source.

 

The intent is to tighten up the contract between the AS and RMS with regards to message numbering.

 

I would like to combine the two proposals into the following:

 

For each message that is to be delivered reliably, the RM Source MUST assign a message number (defined below) beginning at 1 for the first message sent by the Application Source and increasing by exactly 1 for each subsequent message sent by the Application Source.
