Subject: Re: [ws-sx] Re: WSSX Requests a public review please


Hi Rich,

  There's still a few problems - firstly, the cover page isn't right with regard to placement of date and stage, and all 3 document formats must be listed and hypertext linked - it appears that all the hypertext links that should be on the cover page are non-existent; not sure how they disappeared.

The notices section uses a copyright of 1993-2007; you likely want to update this to just 2009 unless this document was published in the past?

All references must be declared as either normative or non-normative in section 1; yet there is a list of references in section 3 (must be moved and properly classified)

Section 1 Introduction seems to have completely lost its formatting (major heading style and designation); 2nd and 3rd-level heads intermittently seem to be causing page breaks. I've just installed Office 2007 SP2 so I don't know if I'm seeing something different than you are - it's certainly possible!

The Acknowledgements section seems very outdated (noting Hal and Symon from BEA for instance) and should be checked for accuracy.

I could fix it, but I don't want to mess with the references. 

Sorry for not looking more closely the first time around.

Regards,

Mary

Hi Mary,

We may have had a coordination issue closing the loop on this. In any event, the current state is that the document has been updated to include a conformance section indicating that there are no conformance requirements, along with some explanatory text:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=32098&wg_abbrev=ws-sx

The above link is to the details page, which describes at the bottom that the doc is updated with said conformance section plus the fact that no "red-lining" remains.

In addition, we are suggesting that the text below from the document abstract might be used as the "paragraph to be included with the review note" (possibly indicating that the refs in the para may be followed by going to the document abstract within the doc).

Please let me (us) know if there is anything else needed to move this ahead.

    Thanks,
    Rich

Suggested text for "paragraph to be included with the review note":

"This document contains examples of how to set up WS-SecurityPolicy
   [WSSP] policies for a variety of common token types that are
   described in WS-Security 1.0 [WSS10] and WS-Security 1.1 [WSS11]
   token profiles [WSSTC]. Particular attention is focused on the
   different "security bindings" (defined in [WSSP]) within the example
   policies. Actual messages that have been documented in WS-Security
   TC [WSSTC]and other WS-Security-based Interops [WSSINTEROPS,
   WSSXINTEROPS, OTHERINTEROPS] that conform to some of the example
   policies are referenced when appropriate.
   The purpose of this document is to give examples of how policies may
   be defined for several existing use cases that have been part of the
   WS-Security Interops that have been conducted (see References
   section for Interop documents [INTEROPS]). In addition, some example
   use cases have been included which show some variations from the
   WS-Security Interop use cases in order to demonstrate how different
   options and security bindings impact the structure of the policies."

 No, there's no conformance section (should be Section 4). It's perfectly acceptable to write a conformance section indicating that there are no conformance requirements, or that one should refer to the actual spec for conformance requirements, as appropriate.

Thanks!

Hi Mary, thanks for the fast response. What the TC would like to do is get this work as far as CS and leave it there. So I believe therefore we need the 60 day review. Sorry that I was not clearer on that.

I thought we had added the conformance section, if we are missing it (and need it) we'll take that to-do.

We (the TC) can try and quickly  work up a paragraph of explanatory text for you .

Cheers
Kelvin

Thanks Kelvin.

  Is this a 60-day review and something that will be advancing to CS status or just something that will stay at CD (which means you don't need conformance section and you have an arbitrary review time)? Would you like to write a paragraph to be included in the review note?

Hi Mary,

The WSSX TC has recently approved an examples document and set of sample files as a committee draft and would like a public review conducted to give the OASIS members a chance to give their feedback. We felt that these documents would help others with better understanding our normative specs that are already OASIS Standards.

The ZIP file containing the documents is at [1].  Please let me know if you need anything else from us.

The meeting where we decided to ask for a review is minuted at [2]
