Re: [ws-rx] Issue i098 - This is about protocol vs. sequence faults

[Doug Davis <dug@us.ibm.com>]

Section 4, in WD 11, now states:

4 Faults
The fault definitions defined in this
section reference certain abstract properties, such as [fault endpoint],
that are defined in section 3 of the WS-Addressing [WS-Addressing] specification.
Endpoints compliant with this specification MUST include required Message
Addressing Properties on all fault messages.

Faults for the CreateSequence message
exchange are treated as defined in WS-Addressing. CreateSequenceRefused
is a possible fault reply for this operation. UnknownSequence is a fault
generated by endpoints when messages carrying RM header blocks targeted
at unrecognized or terminated sequences are detected, these faults are
also treated as defined in WS-Addressing. All other faults in this section
relate to the processing of RM header blocks targeted at known sequences
and are collectively referred to as sequence faults. Sequence faults SHOULD
be sent to the same [destination] as <wsrm:SequenceAcknowledgement>
messages. These faults are correlated using the Sequence identifier carried
in the detail.

Subject	[ws-rx] Issue i098 - This is about protocol vs. sequence faults

The issue says “sequence” and “non-sequence”
faults, I would characterize it more as protocol vs. sequence faults though.
 
I agree that the text referred to is garbled,
I think the editor may have already made a change to that text to try to
improve it. If so could one of the editors provide that to the list so
we can discuss this with the most recent language in the spec?
 
It seems to me that if this text is fixed,
i.e. that it is referring to protocol operation faults, that is probably
sufficient. Are you suggesting that more needs to be done? For example
do you think that every fault needs to be annotated in the spec as to whether
it is a protocol or sequence fault?
