Subject: Re: [wsrp] exportData field in ExportedPortlet Structure
Yes, but if the Producer decides not to supply exportData, the Consumer won't be required to send it with importPortlets message. So, I don't see making exportData optional changing any semantics. Consider the case where the producer is able to export all portlets by reference. Then the producer could return a message like <exportPortletsResponse/> But if the producer is able to export only a few portlets, it will have to return a response like <exportPortletsResponse> <exportedPortlets> <portletHandle>foo1</portletHandle> <exportData>xxxxx</portletHandle> </exportedPortlets> ... </exportPortletsResponse> So, the producer is forced to make up some exportData element. This seems awkward. Regards, Subbu Rich Thompson wrote: > > It is the exportData field that will get supplied to the import > operation.
