Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (SCAPOLICY-1) Block Intent Inheritance
Block Intent Inheritance ------------------------ Key: SCAPOLICY-1 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/SCAPOLICY-1 Project: OASIS Service Component Architecture / Policy (SCA-Policy) TC Issue Type: Bug Components: 1.2 Spec Affects Versions: V1.2 Reporter: David Booz http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-policy-comment/200906/msg00006.html Bullet 4 in section 4.12.1 says that to calculate the required intent set for an element "add any intents found in the @requires attributes of each ancestor element in the element's structural hierarchy." This means, for example that any intents attached to a component apply to all its services and references. Thus, if 'confidentiality' specified at the component level, 'confidentiality' applies to all its services and references. But this may not be what is always desired. A shopping site may wants all its ordering and billing messages encrypted but there may not be any need to encrypt its search messages. Of course, the confidentiality intent can be applied to individual services/references to cover this usecase but we may also want to add the ability to control inheritance. For example at the higher level we may want to say "this applies to all descendants except ...." or on an element we may want to say "this element does not inherit from its ancestors ". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
