Comments on WS bindings issues 1, 3, 4

Folks,

Some comments on the recent bindings
issues:

https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/SCABINDINGS-1

TEST_BWS_2002.composite specifies both
@target and binding

The latest version of the file can be
seen at:

http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/sca-bindings/TestCases_BWS/BWS_2002/src/main/resources/Test_BWS_2002.composite

This test is actually to check if the
<binding> element's @wsdlElement attribute points to a valid WSDL
element.

Assembly spec (csprd04.pdf line 392)
states " If the @target attribute is set, the reference cannot also
have binding subelements."

Given that, the test requires a <binding>
element, and therefore the reference should not have a @target attribute.
This change would not affect the outcome
of the test, but could change the reason for an implementation passing
this test.

Therefore I agree that we should make
the proposed change.

Typo in BWS_2011 <soap:address location="&amp;ws_addr_2010;"></soap:address>

The latest version of the file can be
seen at:

http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/sca-bindings/TestCases_BWS/BWS_2011/src/main/resources/Service1InvalidService.wsdl

This test validates the WSDL binding
referred to from a <binding> element's @wsdlElement attribute. As
such the endpoint address in the WSDL port element is not relevant to the
test and could have any syntactically valid value.  The value present
has the same syntax that is used for replaceable endpoint URLs, and by
convention that ought to be &amp;ws_add_2011; to match the test case,
however that variable is not needed or set for this testcase, so technically
this is not an error, but it does look odd.

The simple answer is to change the text
to "2011" but this change should not affect the outcome of any
execution of the testcase.

Typo in BWS_2018 composite

The latest version of the file can be
seen at:

http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/sca-bindings/TestCases_BWS/BWS_2018/src/main/resources/Test_BWS_2018.composite

The "TestClient" component
is defined with a property:
<property name="testName">ASM_2018</property>

This is clearly incorrect as the test
is BWS_2018.  However this test is a negative test with invalid SCDL
syntax, which means that error is caught before the test client is executed,
so the test name attribute (and indeed the test client component) are irrelevant
to the test.  Changing this should not affect the outcome of any execution
of this test case, but this ought to be fixed if we have the opportunity.
