Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Telecon talking points - Action cont'd
A related idea that follows from my work over the past few day is: initiating action. If a service provides a well-defined business function and realizing the RWEs may require several Actions related through the Process Model, then one Action has to be identified as the one that kicks everything off. In a WSDL (sorry for the dirty word), you have a bunch of operations but other than what you can infer from their names, there is no indication of order or precedence. The Process Model addresses that. However, as Michael noted, you may not want to have the formalism of a Process Model for a single-Action service. Also, while the Process Model packages useful information, a consumer with knowledge of the Initiating Action can begin the interaction and catch up with the process later if it is required to continue the interaction. So, Initiating Action seems like a useful concept that fits into to sections Jeff suggests (and I concur) we discuss today. Talk with you soon. Ken On Jun 4, 2008, at 10:38 AM, Jeffrey A.
