Subject: RE: [provision] Provider may need to know requester's profile.
I agree that it would be very useful for a single SPML service to support multiple profiles. In addition to allowing the client to specify the profile on the listTargets request, the supported profile should be returned on the targets returned in the response.

An SPML profile represents a set of assumptions about how requestor and provider will use SPML. The requestor should probably pass a profile identifier in with a listTargetsRequest. The provider may want to expose a different set of targets for each profile. For example, suppose that a provider can expose the same target (system or application) with either native XML schema *or* with the DSMLv2 schema model. If the provider knows what the requestor wants or expects, the provider can return a target that suits the requestor's profile. Otherwise, I guess the provider could return both targets (even if both represent the same underlying system or application) and let the requestor decide, based on each target's schema, which target the requestor prefers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
