RE: [sca-bindings] ISSUE-22: The Bindings specifications should provideexemplary Implementations for a) Callbacks and b) Conversations

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

Peter,

Interesting question - and an interesting
answer too.

1) For conversational, since this is
an intent, a bindingType simply must list the "conversational"
intent in its
@alwaysProvides
or @mayProvide
attribute - if @mayProvide, then there needs to
also be a PolicySet which contains
a policy which provides the "conversational"
intent.


2) For callback, we have a problem.
 There is no intent "callback" at the moment.  Callbacks
are defined by
various mechanisms, but none of them
are intents.

So, there is no obvious mechanism by
which a bindingType can indicate that it supports callbacks.

Perhaps we should invent a new intent
"callback" and then also define that it is "automatically"
set whenever
there is other metadata that indicates
that there is a callback interface - it can also be specified explictly
using
the @requires attribute. If that is
done, then a bindingType can indicate its support as for conversational.

Hi,
 
just a question about that issue,
how a binding should declare the support or lack of support of those features.
Is it by  intents "Callbackable" , "Conversational"
, "NotSupportedCallback" , etc. ?
 
Peter

Binding specification, JMS Binding Specification, JCA Binding Specification

Description: 

At present, it is not clear which, if any, of the Bindings specifications
enable the implementation of two important 
features of SCA described in the Assembly specification - namely Callback
interfaces and Conversational 
interfaces. 

Each of the Bindings specifications should explicitly declare if it is
possible to support each of these features. 

For each of the Bindings specifications that claim to support either or
both of these features, the specification 
should provide a full description of at least one exemplary implementation
of the feature using the Binding 
technology described in the specification.  Multiple alternative implementations
are permitted and may be 
added to the specification. 

For example, it may be possible to implement Callbacks using WS-Addressing
capabilities with Web services. 
If so, and example, showing the use of appropriate features of WS-Addressing
and other relevant WS-* 
capabilities should be added to the specification.   If an alternative
exists using (say) WS-Context, then an 
example based on that technology can also be provided.

Proposal: 

None at present. 


Yours,  Mike.
