Subject: Issues 79 and 104
We need to have some discussion around the question of intent support. Here is a proposal. This is informed by Mike's note earlier this morning. Let us define two levels of intent support: intent recognition and intent satisfaction. With intent recognition, SCDL files containing intents are valid but no attempt is made to satisfy the intents. With intent satisfaction, intents contained in SCDL files are satisfied using available policySets. These two levels of support are used with External Attachment and Direct Attachment, respectively. *External Attachment: *SCDL files containing intents are validated. Externally attached policySets are then processed. The functions specified in their @attachTo attributes are evaluated and the policySets are attached as indicated by these functions. The functions specified in the @attachTo attributes of policySets may use the presence of intents. After the policySets are attached, the intents are discarded. * Direct Attachment: * SCDL files containing intents are validated. Intents contained within the SCDL files are satisfied using the available policySets. If folks are agreeable to this explanation, we need to add words to the description of External Attachment to clarify. -- All the best, Ashok
