Tom:

inline <JD>,
suggested updates on your proposal responding to Chris F. (here, for comments #1 and #2 only).

It also appears that our definition of "Notify" in Section 1.5 is too general, as we never intended to use Notify
to report on successful deliveries - as Chris assumes - but only on failed deliveries, as described later in the spec.
So I narrow it accordingly in 1.5 below.

Proposed resolutions for some of Chris Ferris comments on WS-Reliability
ED 1.05:

 SNIP

 Deliver:

An abstract operation associated with a Receiving RMP. When invoked, the
operation makes the payload of one Reliable Message available to the
Consumer from the Receiving RMP. For example, in one specific
implementation choice, the payload is placed into a queue by the
Receiving RMP to be consumed by an application component.

<JD> The "associated with a Receiving RMP" might still be misinterpreted.
I would replace 1st sentence with:
"An abstract operation that controls a transfer from Receiving RMP to Consumer."  

<ab> I agree , the term associated is mileading. However, I also think controls is still misleading. How about, "An abstract operation that  manage a transfer from ...)

Submit:

An abstract operation associated with a Sending RMP. When invoked, the
operation transfers payload data from the Producer to the Sending RMP
(e.g., a request to the Sending RMP to take responsibility for the
Reliable Message).

<JD> I would replace 1st sentence with:
"An abstract operation that controls a transfer from Producer to Sending RMP."

 <ab> same change as above

 

 

Respond:

An abstract operation associated with a Receiving RMP. When invoked, the
operation transfers payload data from the Consumer to a Receiving RMP.

<JD> I would replace 1st sentence with:
"An abstract operation that controls a transfer from Consumer to Receiving RMP."

 <ab> same change as above

Notify:

An abstract operation associated with a Sending RMP. When invoked, the
operation makes available a response payload received by the Sending
RMP, to the Producer, or makes available to the Producer the status of a
Reliable Message (e.g., a notification that the Sending RMP failed to
send a Reliable Message).

<JD> similarly,
"An abstract operation that controls a transfer from Sending RMP to Producer."
plus a narrowing: replace "the status" by "the failure status".

 <ab> same change as above
