•Current draft:
oEntityDescription contains a groupID
oProducerDescription contains a flag called doInitEnvironment
oIf doInitEnvironment=’true’, the Consumer MUST invoke initEnvironment once per groupID per user session as the Consumer defines it
oinitEnvironment says what groupID it is for
oConsumer MAY be required to
manage cookies (Producer flag)
•Do we want a protocol level field for non-cookie
use?
–no
oIf an operation faults with InvalidEnvironment, Consumer MUST reinvoke initEnvironment().
oResolved: Drop groupID from initEnvironment. No groupID
=> in “” group
