Re: [wsrf] ISSUE: Should resource lifetime require WS-Resource.

Sam:
This is a good question.

Now, what is the semantic of Destroy()
if no WS-Resource is assumed.  Currently, the text from WSRF-RL version
1.2 draft 03 reads:

224 If the WS-Resource accepts the Destroy
request message, upon receipt of this message the WS- 
225 Resource MUST either (1) destroy
the implied stateful resource component of the WS-Resource
226 and return the following DestroyResponse
message to acknowledge successful destruction, or
227 (2) return a fault message indicating
failure. Note that the destruction of the stateful resource
228 component of the WS-Resource effectively
destroys the WS-Resource.

So, if we allow the case where the Destroy
is sent to something other than a WS-Resource, what is the semantic?  Ie
what can the requestor imagine is destroyed in successful response to the
request?

Subject	[wsrf] ISSUE: Should resource lifetime require WS-Resource.

Specifically should the destroy operation require
that the Web Service
implementing it is also a WS-Resource.
