Action Item 2008-11-11-7: Propose a delta on JAVA-25 for message correlation on callbacks

["Mark Combellack" <mcombellack@avaya.com>]

Hi,

 

I have an action item to propose a delta on the changes for JAVA-25 to add support for message correlation on call backs.

 

 

I would like to propose that we do not provide any infrastructure support for correlating call backs at this time.

 

The reasons for this include:

 

• We would need to make ServiceReferences mutable. This would undo the good work done by Issues 25, 9, 19, 10 and others that made them immutable.
• It is already possible to do correlation of call backs if it is required by using application data (i.e. pass some form of correlation ID in the business data)
• Not implementing this now does not preclude it from being added to later versions of the specification if there is a proven need for this feature.

 

This now completes my action item.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark
