Title: Level of "response message" unclear, for ___SequenceResponse.

 

Author: Kazunori Iwasa, Jacques Durand

 

Description:

 

The wsrm specification makes several mentions of carrying some operation messages

(CreateSequenceResponse, CloseSequenceResponse) over "response messages".

It is unclear whether these are underlying protocol responses if a 2-way protocol is used,

or are SOAP responses (as in SOAP MEPs), or are just RM-level messages with "response" semantics.

 

Justification:

 

In order to remain independent from underlying protocol bindings, and to not preclude

future SOAP bindings to other protocols, (or even other HTTP bindings such as PAOS)

the specification must not make any assumption about MEPs that take place below SOAP level.

The current wording could be interpreted as: a request-response underlying protocol is in use

and messages such as CreateSequenceResponse bind to a response.

 

Target: core

 

Proposal:

 

Reword "request message" and "response message" so that they become respectively

SOAP request and SOAP response messages (either referring to SOAP responses as informally

Defined in SOAP 1.1 or to SOAP Request-response MEP formally defined in 1.2).

Replace the expression "request-response pattern" (Section 4) by SOAP request-response MEP.
