[bpel4people] New Issue: Missing Authorization Specifications for BatchOperations

[Dieter Koenig1 <dieterkoenig@de.ibm.com>]

Target:

WS-HumanTask CD 04 revision 03, section 7.1.5 Operation Authorizations

Description:

The resolution of BP-69 introduced a number of batch operations (see
section 7.1.1):
 - batchClaim
 - batchStart
 - batchStop
 - batchRelease
 - batchSuspend
 - batchSuspendUntil
 - batchResume
 - batchComplete
 - batchRemove
 - batchFail
 - batchSetPriority
 - batchSkip
 - batchForward
 - batchDelegate
 - batchActivate
 - batchNominate
 - batchSetGenericHumanRole

The specification of the corrresponding operation authorizations are
missing.

Proposal:

Batch operations interact with multiple tasks simultaneously, and the
authorization for each interaction has to be decided individually.
Consequently, add the following paragraph to section 7.1.5 Operation
Authorizations, right before the table that defines the operation-specific
authorizations:

<newParagraph>
All batch operations (operations with a name prefix "batch") may be invoked
by any caller; no specific authorization is required. Missing
authorizations for operations on individual tasks result in a report entry
in the batch operation's response message.
</newParagraph>

In addition, add a generic entry to the table (operation name = "batch*",
all entries = "+").
