[provision] DSML Provisinging Discussion...

[Jeff Bohren <jbohren@opennetwork.com>]

It seems from the feedback on my proposal to use DSML for SPML, that the DSML way of representing entries seems to be a good fit for represnting PDUs and PSTDs, but that the DSML operations are not flexible enough to do everything needed for SPML.
 
One solution would be to have two (at least) SPML "Bindings":
 
DSML SOAP Binding - Provisioning using the DSML "SOAP Request/Response Binding" .
 
SPML SOAP Binding - Provisioning using the SPML defined operations using DSML data.
 
One way this might work is that the provisioning request from the RA to the PSP would via the SPML SOAP Binding. The PSP would then send a provising request to the PST using the DSML SOAP Binding. 
 
Some thoughts on this?
