Re: [bt-spec] BTP Issue 64 : can inferior know type of superior ?

[Sazi Temel <sazi.temel@bea.com>]

Some comments on Issue 64:

I think all the actors involved in a superior:inferior relationship knows
what role other part plays, ie what type of actor is on the other end of
the relationship. I used the type of actor instead of the actor since
coordinator and subcoordinator are the same type (in fact in reality,
most of the time it is the same actor), composer and the subcomposer the
same type. For example a participant will definitely know that it is
talking to a coordinator (or subcoordinator) and a coordinator will know
that its superior is the composer (or subcomposer) etc. 

The only question is that if a coordinator allowed to communicate with
terminator directly, then it may not know whether it is talking to
composer or terminator... We should clarify this. Are we allowing a
terminator to talk to coordinator directly or should it go thru the
composer, I think we should allowed it.
