Minutes
<Mike Edwards>
it was very quiet on the call.....
Agenda bashing
Agenda bashing -- no changes
approval of minutes from 14 feb 2008
No objections to approval of minutes from last week.
Action items
Leave AI open and Sanjay will follow up with Mary McRae
AI to define conformance targets -- ongoing
MR: Can someone take an action to update status issue 1
Anish agrees to accept the the AI
Alex, the issues editor is on leave and may not come back
Need to find another issues editor
Sanjay:
Any volunteers for issues editor?
Michael Rowley volunteers to be issues editor if he is excused from taking minutes
MR takes on earlier AI assigned to Anish
Action: Rowley to update status of issue 1
new issues
Issues 17 -- side file
Anish recaps the state of play
Discussion on uniqueness of partner-link names
MR: We shd agree that one usecase for creating a side file by hand is to disambiguate the partner-link names
<Mike Edwards>
I'm now howling
MR: We need some way to point from a component service to the partner-link -- I suggest an XPath
<Mike Edwards>
that sounds better
<Mike Edwards>
XPath only when absolutely necessary
Anish:
We can make XPath optional and if not specified we match the name of the service and the partner-link
<Mike Edwards>
go cap in hand to the Assembly TC
MR: I lean towards a new namespace for the new attribute
<Michael Rowley>
The attribute on the service or reference would either need to be qualified (different from the SCA namespace) or we would
need to add this new attribute to the Assembly spec.
ME: I would like it in the SCA namespace. This will change the Assembly spec.
Sanjay:
We already have a BPEL namespace
ME: That's for a different purpose
<Dieter Koenig>
the bpel namespace is used for attribute that extend bpel - imo, its use should be limited to that
<Michael Rowley>
service/@implementationRef would be used to refer to an implementation dependent mechanism to refer to an implementation's
service, if the service name is not sufficient to identify it.
Khanderao requests a private chat with you
MR: We shd not anything that is BPEL specific to the Assembly spec
but I would be OK with adding the above attribute because other implementations, pehaps legacy application would be able to
take advantage of it
Sanjay questions the optionality in above proposal. Don't you need to go one way or another?
Dieter:
I would prefer the generic attribute
MR: This would go on the Service element which is a sibling of implementation
<anish>
i imagine that this would be xs:string and the fact that this is xpath would be specified in the bpel spec
Sanjay:
If you want to use this in the generic case perhaps we need a subelement rather than an attribute?
Sanjay:
We are discussing a corner case --- perhsps better to have a proposal to resolve the issue
MR: We are discussing something that the Assembly TC must agree to
Sanjay:
MR volunteers to raise an issue in Assembly TC with proposed solution
MR: Can I send the note to 2 TCs?
Martin:
Best to send separate notes
Action: MR to raise issue with Assembly TC
<charlton>
Hi Ashok, Anish, can you get me on the roll?
Action: MR to propose a partial resolution to the issue using the attribute suggested in earlier action
<anish>
agree, it won't happen
Najeeb:
Concerned abt changing names of services/references in BPEL
MR: Argues why you may want to change names
<charlton>
why change names? why not indirection?
<charlton>
don't see the justification for name change
Sanjay:
Please continue discussion of usecases of email.
Sanjay:
Issues 14, 15 16, 18 do not have proposals. Please make proposals for these issues
