I knew I shouldn't have undertaken this on a Friday. I forgot the other half of the words. I updated them below.

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/POLICY-56

Description:

DESCRIPTION: The SCA Bindings TC discovered that none of the SCA specs explicitly say that when a policy intent (or policySet for that matter) conflicts with a binding configuration, then an error should be raised or flagged in some way. See http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-36 for a description of an example of such a conflict. This issue was resolved in the binding TC with some text that states such a conflict to be an error: 

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sca-bindings/download.php/28233/sca%20bindings%20minutes%202008-05-08.doc. 


PROPOSAL:

It was difficult to find the right place for this statement.  I am proposing that we insert the following after line 200 [1].

Intents are not used to override binding configurations.  If there is a conflict between an intent and a binding configuration, the SCA Runtime MUST raise an error. For example, a web service binding which requires the SOAP intent, but which points to a WSDL binding that does not specify SOAP.
