Subject: RE: [wsrp-wsia] [I#92] Maximum size of a handle
One thing to consider is that there are portals with large user populations - potentially millions. An *unlimited* handle length formally means that portals must be able to handle handles that of unlimited size to be WSRP compliant which is impractical for many scenarios. Also, this would encourage some WSRP producers to use the handles for storing large amounts of data.

I'm personally not a fan of any limit for handle length in the spec; I think that any length we give is fairly arbitrary and will come back to bite us.

Our current implementation uses a URL as the "entityHandle" (a la Web philosophy), and URL-s can approach 128. A 1K-4K minimum (SHOULD, not MUST) would be logical to me.

For reasons of efficient processing, it would be useful to limit the length of the handle to something reasonable. Considering that an entityHandle SHOULD encode the consumerHandle when Consumer side persitence is used and that a refHandle encodes an entityHandle and a sessionHandle, the length should not be too small. Suggestion = 128 characters. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Discussion: ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl> ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl> ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
