NEW ISSUE: Permit intents and PolicySets on <interface/> elements

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

RAISER:  Mike Edwards

TARGET:  SCA Assembly specification
(this issue raised against sca-assembly-1.1-spec-WD-02.doc)

DESCRIPTION:

Currently, the <interface/> complex
type in the SCA SCDL schema has no attributes.  The consequence of
this
is that if there is the requirement
to associate policy with an existing interface file, there is no way to
do this without
breaking open the interface file, which
may not be possible in many cases (eg WSDL file is owned by a 
different organisation)

PROPOSAL:

Add @requires and @policySets attributes
to the base SCA Interface complex type

Change line 3483 from this:

<complexType name="Interface" abstract="true"/>

to this:

<complexType name="Interface" abstract="true">
           <attribute name="requires" type="sca:listOfQNames" use="optional" />
           <attribute name="policySets" type="sca:listOfQNames" use="optional"/>
</complexType>

Yours,  Mike.
