Subject: [wsrp-conformance] Conformance guide?

As I began trying to reflect the use
profiles into the assertions spreadsheet and also reflected some on Rex's
comments about using the use profiles within the Primer, a couple of things
began to make me think a separate Conformance Guide might be useful. Reasons
include:
1. For those seeking to know what it
means to conform to the "Complex Producer" level without a need
or desire to know details about the protocol (e.g. someone reviewing a
purchase requisition for a particular product), even the Primer will be
too technical.
2. Many (possibly even most) of the
things that distinguish one use profile from another can not be tested
by a conformance suite (e.g. the Complex Producer offers local persistence),
but are readily apparent and/or demonstrable by products.
Whether or not we do a separate guide,
we do need to flesh out the Use Profiles with some examples. Here are some
suggestions:
Simple Producer:
- Simple containers (i.e.
limited functionality)
- Single portlet based
systems/applications
Complex Producer:
- Full container based
frameworks such as portals or application servers
Simple Consumer:
- Web page plug-in?
- ActiveX control?
Medium Consumer:
- Application server?
Complex Consumer:
- Full aggregating engines
such as portals
Are these roughly what people have been
thinking these levels apply to?
