Re: [wsrf] New Issue: Reference to WS-AtomicTransaction references in WSRP

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

The reference to WS-Transactions from WSRP is non-normative. Its purpose is to declare that transactional behaviour is a composable quality of service rather than a behaviour specified by WS-RP and to point the reader to an appropriate specification that deals with transactional behaviour. WS-AtomicTransaction is such a specification and, as you rightly point out, so is WS-CAF and indeed the work of the OASIS Business Transaction TC. If we change the reference and the text that surrounds it, it would be better to refer to a each without judgement rather than single out any individual specification since WSRF imposes no restrictions on which specification it may be composed with to provide this quality of service.

I noticed that WSRP [1], section 7 refers to the WS-AtomicTransaction 
specification. There is another TC in OASIS -- WS-CAF [2] that is 
chartered to deal with transactions in the WS world. I would like to 
raise an issue regarding this and suggest that the reference to 
WS-AtomicTransaction be replaced with WS-TXM [3].

Thx!
