Subject: [wsrp] On Transient Thingies - Example (1/3)


Title: Message
Hi All,
 
Here's an example for the need for Transient Thingies in the WSIA world, based on the MapQuest scenario.
 
If a hotel chain wants to provide a search capability on their Web site, namely allow the user to enter a city and display the list of hotels.
 
And if the hotel chain wants to display alongside with every hotel found (suppose 7 were found) also the map of that particular hotel.
 
And assuming that the size of that list is variable (could be 1 hotel found or 50).
 
Then it would be quite inappropriate to use Persistent Thingies for each one of the 50 list results. (And manage them).
 
Rather, the WSIA model in this case should be a single Persistent Thingy, but the Consumer (in this case the hotel chain) can create multiple occurrences of that Persistent Thingy, namely: multiple Transient Thingies, and provide the Nth Transient Thingy with the appropriate location data that corresponds to the Nth hotel - probably using property values or otherwise using out-of-band operations.
 
In this case, even though the 50 elements come from a single service, might have a single session (it's all the same user), they would still need a per-transient-interaction element, what we call the Transient Thingy, to differentiate between them.
 
Cheers,
Eilon
