Subject: RE: [wsdm] Is componentAddress required?


 
And yes I noticed that the spec says "This is a REQUIRED property if the
component is addressable" but this really doesn't mean anything.
Anything one can talk about is addressable by some (potentially yet to
be invented) addressing scheme.

Also, I need an explanation of this:

ManagementEvent/sourceComponentId/componentAddress/{any} - XML open
contents to include any XML representation of the component address. The
commonly used addresses are either basic Web service address,
wsa:EndpointAddress, or the address of a manageable resource,
muws:ManageabilityEndpointReference.

AFAIK (and I should know), there is no ManageabilityEndpointReference in
MUWS.

Also, I have a remark about this definition:

ManagementEvent/reporterComponentId - this is the identification of the
component that is the "reporter" of the event or the situation. This is
a REQUIRED property only if the reporting component is different than
the source component. Otherwise, this element is OPTIONAL. This element
is of the same XML Schema complex type as the
ManagementEvent/sourceComponentId element.

Does this mean that if I don't see a reporterComponentId I know that the
reporter is the same as the source? What about the case where the
reporter doesn't want to (or doesn't have a way to) report who it is but
is still different from the source? I don't think we should assume that
no reporter means reporter=source.

BTW I took the liberty to rename sourceComponentId and
reporterComponentId to sourceComponent and reporterComponent because one
common case is when this contains an EPR and, as Francisco Curbera very
pointedly explained on the WS-Addressing mailing list an EPR is not an
Id
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-addressing/2004Nov/0355.h
tml). Let me know if this is a problem.

Subject: [wsdm] Is componentAddress required?

The pseudo-schema and the UML show that componentAddress (inside
sourceComponentId or reporterComponentId) is optional (0 to unbounded)
but the current description says it's required. Which one is right.

I think it should be optional. It's ok if I only want to send the
ResourceId.
