Subject: Re: [xacml] Re: [xacml-comment] Public review comments for xacml-json-http-v1.0-csprd03: 5.2.5 The StatusCode object representation

Hi Glenn, I think you are wrong. I took the wording verbatim from the core XACML spec which says that StatusCode does contain a sequence of StatusCode.
The core spec is badly worded also, but at least the core spec has an XML Schema to clarify the intent. Contains "an optional sequence of minor status codes" immediately suggests to me something like: <StatusCode ...> <StatusCode .../> <StatusCode .../> <StatusCode .../> </StatusCode> but the XML Schema tells me it is actually: <StatusCode ...> <StatusCode ...> <StatusCode ...> <StatusCode .../> </StatusCode> </StatusCode> </StatusCode> which I wouldn't naturally regard as a sequence. I think Glenn makes a fair point. The text description has to stand on its own in the JSON profile and I agree with his suggested rewording. Regards, Steven
Am I missing the point? Cheers, David. 5.55 Element <StatusCode> The <StatusCode> element contains a major status code value and an optional sequence of minor status codes. <xs:element name="StatusCode" type="xacml:StatusCodeType"/> <xs:complexType name="StatusCodeType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="xacml:StatusCode" minOccurs="0"/> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="Value" type="xs:anyURI" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> The <StatusCode> element is of StatusCodeType complex type. The <StatusCode> element contains the following attributes and elements: Value [Required] See Section B.8 for a list of values. <StatusCode> [Any Number] Minor status code. This status code qualifies its parent status code.
