Subject: RE: [ws-caf] addParticipant optimization
I'd like to see (some at least) of my issues A to I in a previous mail voted on by the TC to clarify what it is we're actually trying to achieve (the requirements), before reaching for a particular solution. This proposal includes several implicit decisions about the way this will be approached, and I think we need to get those decisions dealt with explicitly. My lettered issues are designed to triage the reqs in a very clear way. If we are to do this kind of optimization, I still believe that there is no need to allow rejection of the vector. It is not an onerous implementation requirement at all. Alastair Alastair J.

This has been repositioned to be within WS-CF, rather than WS-ACID. I'd like to get to the point where we could have some concerete proposal for vote at the telecon on Monday. "A service that receives a WS-CF context on an application request SHOULD enlist participants with the corresponding activity group if the operation execution semantic for the activity requires enlistment. The Referencing Specification or implementation MAY decide to use the following protocol to optimize remote registration invocations. Rather than register participants directly, the wscf:addParticipants messages MAY be delayed and retained by the Registering Service until the response to the original invocation is sent; in which case a wscf:AddParticipants SOAP header element, which contains the individual wscf:addParticipants messages is propagated back with the response. [Editor's note: this element MUST have SOAP:mustUnderstand defined to be true.] If a receiver of a response obtains this SOAP header it MUST be able to perform the enlistments or, if it does not support this optimization, send back a wscf:CannotOptimizeEnlistment fault code message. In the case of failures (e.g., delivery failure of the application response), it is up to Referencing Specifications as to the appropriate action to take, e.g., in the case of an ACID transaction implementation, any associated transaction MUST be forced to roll back. An implementation MAY retry transient registration failures. When using this optimization, the Registering Service MUST still see a wscf:participantAdded message in order to be compliant with WS-CF. How that message is produced is up to the Referencing Specification or implementation. For example, when used in conjunction with ACID transactions, an implementation MAY require this to be tied into the notion of checked transaction semantics."
