Re: [ws-caf] propsed text for issue 133

["Mark Little" <mark.little@arjuna.com>]

My mistake: I do have issues with Alastair's proposed text changes, specifically the last insert:

 

"i.e. the values corresponding to the context’s child elements held by the context service at the point of receiving the getContents message."

 

First, there aren't any child elements (we changed that to a single parent-context ContextType).

 

Secondly, the dereferencing of this value (and potentially the iterative process up the tree to the root), is actually the subject of a different issue: http://services.arjuna.com/wscaf-issues/show_bug.cgi?id=137

 

So my proposal would be to modify the 133 text to change child to parent and drop the last bit about dereferencing that via getContents. That would text solely related to issue 133. Then when we come to 137 and 141, which are dependant on 133, we may make subsequent updates.

I would suggest amending this to read

 

"If a context is present on a received message and it [delete: that] contains a context-manager element then that element MAY be used by the recipient to dereference the context. Any other information present in the received context at this point [insert:] cannot be assumed to represent the current or entire contents of the context [delete: SHOULD NOT be assumed to represent the entire context structure]. If the context-manager is dereferenced, it MUST return the entire [insert] current contents of the context, [insert:] i.e. the values corresponding to the context’s child elements held by the context service at the point of receiving the getContents message."

Here's is the proposed text for issue 133 (http://services.arjuna.com/wscaf-issues/show_bug.cgi?id=133)

 

"If a context is present on a received message and it that contains a context-manager element then that element MAY be used by the recipient to dereference the context. Any other information present in the received context at this point SHOULD NOT be assumed to represent the entire context structure. If the context-manager is dereferenced, it MUST return the entire contents of the context."
