Subject: Re: [ws-sx-comment] Questions on Versioning Problems of WS-SecureConversation
Further looking into the WS-SecurityPolicy (WS-SP) V1.3 spec, I found some changes on WS-SecureConversation under Section 5.4.7 SecureConversationToken Assertion. There are some new descriptions on Amending, Renewing, and Canceling Context for the WS-SecureConversation (WS-SC). Looks like the way to handle amend, renew and cancel has been changed from WS-SC v1.3 to v1.4. Again this is just some text descriptions added without any schema changes to the schema of either WS-SP or WS-SC. If this is the case, then this is very bad design for versioning. My questions are: - How can I tell which version of WS-SC should be use for amending, renewing and canceling by looking into the policy? - How can I tell which version of WS-SC should be use from the incoming amend, renew and cancel requests? More questions on the schema for both specifications: - In WS-SP v1.3, there is only <sp:SC13SecurityContextToken>. Why there is no <sp:SC14SecurityContextToken> for WS-SC v1.4? - In WS-SC v1.4, why the section 4 Amending Contexts still use old URI of http://docs-oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200512/RST/SCR/Amend. Why not change to: http://docs-oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200809/RST/SCR/Amend for new version of WS-SC? - Same questions for Renewing and Canceling Contexts. Why not change the prefix on these two URIs as well?

The schema link points to ws-secureconversation-1.3.xsd. If this is the case, then this is a very bad design for this standard on the versioning. There is no way to tell from the incoming message whether this is a WS-SC v1.4 message or a WS-SC v1.3 message. We cannot use namespace in the message to make the differentiation. The question is: why to publish a new version without schema change? Eclogue Chang -- This publicly archived list offers a means to provide input to the OASIS Web Services Secure Exchange (WS-SX) TC.
