Summary of WS-Addressing meeting of 2006-11-06

["Bob Freund-Hitachi" <bob.freund@hitachisoftware.com>]

WS-Addressing reached two decisions on November 6, 2006.

 

1)       The WG decided to remove text in WS-Addressing SOAP binding sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 that allude to uris defined in other specifications that MAY indicate semantics similar to wsa:anonymous.  The semantics of such uris are governed by those other specifications and WS-Addressing will not attempt to define what those semantics may be or how those uris may be recognized.  The changes will be against the rec documents.  Conformance to WS-Addressing is defined within the specifications in such a way that the WG decided that the changes are editorial and do not affect conformance.

2)       The WG agreed that the wsdl binding is not friendly to the WS-Policy specification now in progress since the Policy framework indicates that assertions are distinguished only by the QName of the element without regard to content or attribute.

 

The WG expects a proposal for new policy assertions sometime this week which it will consider at next Monday’s teleconference.  It is expected (hoped?) that the proposal will be closely circumscribed around WS-Addressing and will not prohibit other specifications from doing what their authors intend.
