NEW ISSUE: Required intents on interfaces

["Michael Rowley" <mrowley@bea.com>]

 

TARGET: SCA Policy Framework Specification

 

DESCRIPTION:

The input specification to the SCA Assembly TC has the following paragraph starting at line 900:

 

The @requires attribute can be applied to WSDL Port Type elements (WSDL 1.1) and to WSDL Interface elements (WSDL 2.0).  The attribute contains one or more intent names, as defined by the Policy Framework specification [10]. Any service or reference that uses an interface with required intents implicitly adds those intents to its own @requires list.

 

However, the policy framework specification has no description of what it means for a policy intent to be required by an interface.  I believe this definition belongs in the policy framework specification.

 

PROPOSAL

 

Add this paragraph (or something similar) to the policy framework specification.
