Re: [wsrf] Two requirements from WSDM

[Ian Robinson <ian_robinson@uk.ibm.com>]

William,
We'll add the first of these as a new issue for WS-RF. 

The second and possible third requirement are potentially already covered by one of the following existing issues:
Issue WSRF9: Need an API to list all properties including those allowed in an xsd:any
- this is to address a means to determine the full set of proprties in the RP doc instance and a means to determine the types for those not explicitly declared in the schema.
Issue WSRF27: Add operation to return entire property document
- this is to address a means to request the entire instance document.

I interpreted you request to be very similar to WSRF9. Do you believe there are any unique aspects of the WSDM requirements that are not covered by this existing issue? If WSRF9 covers that part of the WSDM requirements, then we should note that WSDM are a stakeholder in the resolution of that issue

Dear WSMFers,

Here are two more requirements from your friends and customers in the
WSDM TC:

- In the part of WS-RP that deals with sending notifications when a
property is modified, WSDM would like a topic to be defined that can be
used to register for notification when any of the properties changes (or
at least any of these for which notification is available). As opposed
to having to register for each and every property by using the
corresponding topic.

- Still in WS-RP, WSDM would like to be provided a way to retrieve a
list of the properties currently available with the WS-Resource (so we
know which ones of the optional properties are available and what other
properties might be available that do not appear explicitly in the
schema of the resource properties document).

As a heads up, WSDM might decide to submit a related requirement
regarding the ability to retrieve the schema of a "dynamic" property
(one that is not explicitly listed in the schema of the resource
properties document) but this is still being discussed inside WSDM.

Regards,

William
