RE: [bt-spec] Deferred BTP Issue 106 : Free text for all FAULTs

[Peter Furniss <peter.furniss@choreology.com>]

At the meeting on 13 March the TC voted that this issue would be undeferred and considered for the 1.0 spec.

 

The proposed solution is as Doug suggested:

 

Add a new parameter to FAULT "fault-text", with explanation:

fault-text Free text describing the fault or providing more information. Whether this parameter is present, and exactly what it contains are an implementation option.

Where "fault-data" is currently "Free text explanation", change it to "None"

Make the same changes in the XML

Subject: [bt-spec] Deferred BTP Issue 106 : Free text for all FAULTs

This issue has been added to the BTP issue list as a deferred issue, to be considered for a future edition of the spec.

BTP Issue 106 : Free text for all FAULTs

Submitter: Doug Bunting, Sun
Category: minor technical
Arising from: issue 95 : fault data for WrongState FAULT
Description:
I would much prefer free text explanations were directly supported by the FAULT message. That would reserve fault-data for additions specific to a fault type and allow additional text no matter what the problem. My preferred resolution would add a free-text parameter (or some such) to the FAULT message and remove "Free text explanation" from the fault-data column wherever specific material isn't required.
