RE: [ws-tx] Issue 083 - Remove the optional RPC portTypes defined in wsat.wsdl

["Ram Jeyaraman" <Ram.Jeyaraman@microsoft.com>]

Proposed resolution:

On wsat.wsdl, as we discussed before, we agree to removing the section
"Optional Synchronous RPC Port Types" and retaining the section
"Mandatory Asynchronous Messaging PortTypes". It might be useful to name
the section "Asynchronous  Messaging PortTypes" or something similar.

On wscoor.wsdl, we suggest removing the section "Mandatory Asynchronous
PortTypes" and retaining the section "Optional Synchronous RPC Port
Types". We will also suggest renaming the label "Optional Synchronous
RPC Port Types" to "Request/reply portTypes".

Issue Description:
The RPC portTypes defined in wsat.wsdl are optional and not useful for
interoperability. These are the portTypes defined under:
 <!--  Optional Syncronous RPC Port Types   -->

Issue Details:
Since the RPC portTypes are not useful for interoperability, they are
not useful at all and should be removed from the WSDL. These date back
to a time before the current state tables were defined and are not
compatable with the messages defined in the state table.
Given that the purpose of the specification is WS-AT interoperability,
the only portTypes the AT WSDL should define are the Mandatory
Asynchronous Messaging PortTypes.


Proposed Resolution:
Remove the optional RPC portTypes defined in wsat.wsdl i.e those defined
under:
 <!--  Optional Syncronous RPC Port Types   -->
Also remove from the wsat.xsd the types defined specifically for the RPC
portTypes.
Specifically the types Vote, PrepareResponse, Outcome and
ReplayResponse.

Ian
