Subject: Re: [wsrp-wsia] [I#???] inconsistent ResourceList handling



Agree, that was what I meant with the second option, maybe I expressed
myself unclear.
To be more specific:
- Add ResourceList to UserCategoryDescription
- Add ResourceList to PropertyDescription
- Leave PortletDescription ike it is with ResourceList included
- remove ResourceList from ServiceDescription
- remove ResourceList from ModelDescription

Is that what you mean?
I not realy sure here but I tend also to prefer this option.
However we end up with a bunch of ResourceList structures returned (for
exemple when calling getServiceDescription)...

Thinking about this some more ... I had tried to add a ResourceList to
each returned structure, I think it would be clearer if there was one
within each structure that included a LocalizedString. This would remove
some of the ambiguity as to where to look for the locale specific values.
Thoughts??

handling


I received one other email about this area not being clear enough. My
understanding of the intent when ResourceLists were introduced in Nov was
that structures containing localized strings would also contain a
ResourceList for localized values for that structure. I would suggest
adding this to the description of ResourceList and ensuring that each such

structure does have a ResourceList.

Gil, could you please create and assign an issue number to this topic:

Topic: ResourceList
Class: Minor Technical
Title: inconsistent ResourceList handling
Document Section: 4.1.6, 4.1.7, 4.2, 7.1.2, 7.1.8, 7.1.9, 7.2, 7.7
Description:
Currently we have a confusing (at least to me) way of how we handle
ResourceLists.
GetServiceDescription() returns the ServiceDescription type which contains
a ResourceList. It also returns a the EntityDescription[],
Role(UserCategory)Description[] and ModelDescription.
What is the ResourceList supposed to contain? I assume that it shold have
resources for the EntityDescriptions, UserCategoryDescriptions and
PropertyDescriptions (although it is not stated in the spec).
GetEntityDescription() takes sendAllLocales and desiredLocales parameters
but the returned EntityDescriptionType does not contain a ResourceList
type.
I think it should, otherwise we would only have the localized Strings with
exactly one language in them. Or is the consumer supposed to store the
ResourceList from GetServiceDescription() and look the resource up there?
I
don't think we should desire this.
On the other hand ModelDescription contains a ResourceList. I assume it is
supposed to store the Resources for the PropertyDescriptions.
If so then the ResourceList returned by GetServiceDescription() would
contain redundant information as ServiceDescription contains
ModelDescription.
I think we should decide whether we have _one_ resource list which
contains
_all_ resources for _all_ the description and when it is returned. Then
the
desiredLocales and sendAllLocales flags would't make much sense for
getEntityDescription() and getEntityPropertyDescription().
Another option (and I think a better one) would be to have ResourceLists
for each of the Types, say one for EntityDescription, one for
PropertyDescription and one for UserCategorieDescription.
In that case ServiceDescription shoud not contain the ResourceList.


Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards,
