ebBP 3/21/2005: Comment re: Signal Attributes (wd 10/schema 2-22)

["Monica J. Martin" <Monica.Martin@Sun.COM>]

In addition to Sacha's question on DocumentEnvelopeType and 
isPositiveResponse, he also asked about similar attributes on signals. 
In order to address his question, here is the current condition and any 
draft proposed solutions.

    * ReceiptAcknowledgementType@isPositiveReceipt (Has xsd:boolean type
      and fixed='true') and
      ReceiptAcknowledgementExceptionType@isPositiveReceipt (Has no
      xsd:boolean type and fixed='false')
          o Proposed resolution: Schema
                + Proposed change:
                  ReceiptAcknowledgementExceptionType@isPositiveReceipt
                  <xsd:attribute name="*isPositiveSignal*"
                  type="*xsd:boolean*" fixed="*false*" />

    * Neither AcceptanceAcknowledgementType or
      AcceptanceAcknowledgementExceptionType carries isPositiveXXX
      attributes.
          o Proposed resolution: No schema change. Reviewed BT patterns
            matrices and adjoining text in wd10 (Section 4.6.6.1,
            4.6.6.3 and 4.11). Note that AA are strongly recommended
            only, and only may apply to specific patterns.
          o Proposed change, Section 4.6.6.3:
                + Change from:
                      # A corresponding isPositiveSignal attribute
                        occurs on each signal, consistent with the
                        structure of the Document Envelope.
                + Change to:
                      # A corresponding isPositiveSignal attribute
                        occurs on the Receipt Acknowledgement signals,
                        consistent with the structure of the Document
                        Envelope (isPositiveResponse).

    * GeneralExceptionType has no isPositiveReceipt="false" attribute

          o Proposed resolution: No change. This is a special distinct
            type of technical failure, is not part of the choreographed
            activities but may be recognized.

Comments welcome.
