Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (TOSCA-4) Modification of the <Interfaces> element of Node Types & Dependency of Plans on Infrastructure

Derek Palma commented on TOSCA-4:
---------------------------------
Following up on my questions from the 2/23/12 TC meeting, I would like request some details about slide one of http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/tosca/download.php/45225, posted by on 2/22/12 by Frank, since I cannot find them in the current draft.
1) A description of plan execution including the general constraints of each step and results of each step.
2) A description of what an implementation would be required to support regarding plan execution. Specifically, I am asking from an interoperability perspective. I.e. what are the capabilities most implementations should have to achieve baseline interoperability? What kinds of deployment artifacts should they support? etc.

> We propose to drop the <Interfaces> element of node types and support (at most) a single <Interface> for a <NodeType> element. This interface will consist of one of more operations. The implication is that the current <Operation> element must be renamed to better reflect its purpose; because its purpose is to define scripts as operations of node types, we propose to rename todays <Operation> into <ScriptOperation>. As a result of the renaming, an <Interface> consists of <Operation>s that may be either an operation of a port type (i.e. a WSDL operation), a REST API, or a script operation.
> The current <REST> element does not suffice to support the variety of REST APIs found in the industry. The proposal is to extend the current definition accordingly. Beside allowing to define the HTTP method to be used, both, abs_path and absolte_URI variants of request URIs must be supported. The optional body of the request message and the response message must be specifiable. Next, a pure URI variant of passing parameters must be supported, i.e. the new syntax must support to define a URI query string. Also, key HTTP header fields that are relevant for the request must be specifiable.
> Finally, not only script-based operations require implementation artifacts. For example, a REST API may be represented by a WAR file implementing the REST API. This implies to factor out the corresponding <ImplementationArtifacts> element into the embracing (new) <Operation> element.
