History of Rel 49 and Rel 14

[Tom Rutt <tom@coastin.com>]

I went thru the archives to extract this history. To accept the 
resolution to Rel 49 as normative, we need to change our previously
agreed resolution to Rel 14.

The charter http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsrm/charter.php has 
the following statement:

Essential elements of web services are SOAP and WSDL. The specification 
to be created will provide WSDL definitions for reliable messaging and 
the message formats will be specified as SOAP headers and/or body 
content. The resulting specification must be programming 
language-neutral and platform-neutral.

------
Rel 14 was originally a requirments issue on wsdl annotations:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsrm/download.php/5647/wsrm-issues-2004-02-24.html#xREL-14 


Description: Define WSDL extensions profiling the use of RM SOAP 
extensions (e.g., align Service element with WSDL-SOAP binding) [see 
original spec]
 From Sunil: WSDL declarations for RM operations: The WSDL extensible 
mechanisms (annotations) should be employed to declare/define 
(statically) RM operations such as MO, DE, GD either at wsdl:operation 
or at wsdl:portType level or at both. When using WSDL 1.2, we could use 
the WSDL 1.2 properties and features.
Proposal: Move this as a Spec level issue, and close with agreement that 
this will be marked in the spec as an item for further study; (i.e. not 
solved in the first version of the spec).
Resolution: WSDL binding will be marked in the spec as an item for 
further study (i.e. not solved in the first version of the spec). First 
incorporated in 2003-10-23 version of the specification (new "Futures 
List" appendix).

2.4.2 Rel 14 regarding wsdl definitions
Tom Rutt suggested that we either make this a requirement or request a 
charter
clarification:
Could change, in the charter:
“The specification to be created will provide WSDL definitions for 
reliable messaging
and the message formats will be specified as SOAP headers and/or body 
content.”
To:
“The specification to be created will provide message formats specified 
as SOAP headers
and/or body content.”
Tom Rutt stated that the WSS security people have the same problem. This 
is not
specific to WSRM.
Doug Bunting stated that WSDL 1.2 features might be able to do this.
Alan suggested leaving it in charter, not including it as a 
requirements, and marking it in
the spec as an item for fur ther study in the specification.
Potential resolution:
Move this as a Spec level issue, and close with agreement that this will 
be marked
in the spec as an item for further study, (i.e not solved in the first 
version of the
spec.
Sunil suggested to leave it open as a spec Issue for now, and not make 
it a requirement.
Agreed to make this a spec issue, and leave open.

 From July 1 minutes: 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsrm/download.php/2804/Minutes%20WSRM%20TC%20701.htm 



3 Approval of Pending Issue Resolutions from Previous meetings

Rel, 7, 9, 25, 30, 42, 48, 5, 6, 3 Requirements issues.

Nobody opposed to moving these to closed status.

Rel 14 - annotating the wsdl with documentation

Mapping and binding issues.

Consensus – too complex to do binding issues at this time.

Do not change the use of wsdl.

Annotation, non normative could be put in appendix.

Intention is if we do not do.

Agreed to Add new spec issue for non-normative annotation for use with 
wsdl.

Nobody opposed to making pending resolution to rel 14 final.

The following new issue appeared for the first time in the issues list: 
for July 1 : 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsrm/download.php/2766/wsrm-issues-2003-07-01.html 


Rel 49:
*Title:* Non normative WSDL annotations *
Description:* Define non normative WSDL binding of WSRM operations in 
appendix to specification.


On July 25 the issue looked as 
folows:http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsrm/download.php/3049/wsrm-issues-2003-07-29.html 


Rel 49
*Title:* Non normative WSDL annotations *
Description:* Define non normative WSDL binding of WSRM operations in 
appendix to specification. This will allow sender to discover that a 
recipient supports the WS-RM protocol. Goes a bit deeper than just "I 
support WS-RM" to cover some granularity such as "I support ordered 
delivery". Granularity remains an open question.
Paulo concerned about closing REL-7 
<http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsrm/download.php/3049/xREL-7>. 
His concern may be addressed through this issue.
