Subject: RE: [soa-rm-ra] RE: One-pager
In your definition you effectively equate JA with conversations. Does it mean that: ·
Joint action is really a conversation? ·
All service invocations are conversational? If this is the position I have a big problem with this.
Conversational means state management which pushes complexity through the roof and
typically kills scalability and often performance. From: mpoulin@usa.com
[mailto:mpoulin@usa.com] Not sure I agree with Rex (if I've understood correctly). Joint Action is about actions, not about spiritual preparation to
act. That is, any JA has its life-time and, correspondingly, the epoch. An
ensemble of actions, which we also call session, completes, the JA completes.
Since neither consumer-requester nor the service can define when RWE of the JA
will be consumed (if at all) but unknown consumers (the shareable part of the
RWE), we cannot tie the JA to any demobilization
moment; the service may be retired already and destroyed while the RWE it
produces before may be still in the public access area. So, I agree with Chris - every JA
has its epoch. We should not mix it with multiple service requests that result
in the JA that can exist simultaneously. Any new request results in its own JA
as well as in the new instance of the service responding to it (again, the
epoch of JA may be called a session, a business transaction, or somehow else.
This 'thing' defines which actions are the part of particular JA and which ones
belong to about JA for the same service) - Michael -----Original Message----- I think that attempting to restrict or constrain the epoch of
Joint Action to any arbitrary time-period, especially post invocation, is a
problem. in my view, Joint Action is required any time more than one party is
required to move a service toward invocation or toward completion once invoked.
It stretches from design time to demobilization. Therefore, it does not fit
into any specific epoch. Chris, Couple of comments: First, this RAF definition of RWE is quite a bit different from
what it was defined in the RM, which really seemed focused on what happens upon
service invocation. Second, execution context is not mentioned at all in Sect 3 of the
RAF or at least not in earlier drafts. How is that going to play out in
the new updates? Still having a hard time with Joint Action, in particular,
determining its epoch. Cheers… - Jeff The information contained in this communication may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.
