RE: [ws-tx] Re: Issue 114 - Links to schema in WSDL files incorrect

[Ian Robinson <ian_robinson@uk.ibm.com>]

Ram,
The CS version of the WS-Coordinatoin
spec removed (I just checked) those reference in its resolution to issue
113. It now states:

Dereferencing the XML namespace defined in section 1.5 will produce the Resource Directory Description Language (RDDL) [RDDL] document that describes this namespace, including the XML schema  [XML-Schema1][XML-Schema2] and WSDL [WSDL] declarations associated with this specification.

So the spec contents should not need to change.

The RDDL document will be updated to point to the new WSDLs so the spec iteslf does not need to change.
The requirement (originating from the OASIS TC admin, who have the write access to the OOLibrary) for versioning the names of the WSDL and XSD files was discussed at the Jan F2F and we resolved issue 113 the way we did to accomodate this, following the pattern used by other TCs (such as WS-RX).

Regards,
Ian Robinson

Ian,
 
The WS-Coordination specification has a reference to
 
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wscoor/2006/06/wscoor.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wscoor/2006/06/wscoor.wsdl
 
which needs to be changed as well.
 
I am wondering if we can revert back to using the names we had used before (such as, wscoor.xsd) to avoid this whole issue. Would OASIS staff be open to that?
 
I am not sure what the benefits of using a versioned file name is, particularly since we are about to complete work, and we have not used such version information in the past for the WSDL/XSD files.
 
Thanks.

Having discussed this with the TC admin, we will need to create new WSDL files at new locations and reapprove our committee specs.
I therefore propose the following concrete resolution:

<ProposedResolution>

1. We create 3 new versions of the WSDL in which the imported schema is properly located.
For example, change WS-AT so that
          <xs:import
              namespace="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06"
              schemaLocation="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06/wsat.xsd"/>

is replaced by;
          <xs:import
              namespace="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06"
              schemaLocation="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06/wstx-wsat-1.1-schema-200701.xsd"/>

2. We upload these 3 WSDLs to the OOLibrary at URIs:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06/wstx-wsat-1.1-wsdl-200702.wsdl
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsba/2006/06/wstx-wsba-1.1-wsdl-200702.wsdl
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wscoor/2006/06/wstx-wscoor-1.1-wsdl-200702.wsdl

</ProposedResolution>

Once we have resolved this issue we then need a motion to authorize a new CS/OS ballot.
The result of a successful CS ballot will be cs-03 drafts of WS-C and WS-AT and a cs-02 draft for WS-BA.

The specs will actually be identical to the ones we already approved except for the doc identifier (which is incremented by 1) and the date. The only material difference will be the WSDL files.

Once we have produced these new CS specs then we will need to update our RDDL to point to the newly approved specs and newly approved WSDL.

Regards,
Ian Robinson

Subject: [ws-tx] small problem with TX WSDLs
 

We have a small snag.

Our 3 WSDLs at:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wscoor/2006/06/wstx-wscoor-1.1-wsdl-200701.wsdl
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06/wstx-wsat-1.1-wsdl-200701.wsdl
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsba/2006/06/wstx-wsba-1.1-wsdl-200701.wsdl

refer to the schema at the old location.
For example, the WS-AT WSDL contains:
          <xs:import
              namespace="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06"
              schemaLocation="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06/wsat.xsd"/>

instead of
          <xs:import
              namespace="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06"
              schemaLocation="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wsat/2006/06/wstx-wsat-1.1-schema-200701.xsd"/>


This is a problem of consistency rather than interoperability since the only difference between the schemas at the 2 locations is the OASIS copyright statement comment, but it is a nuisance. Having just noticed this, I will ask the OASIS staff the following 2 questions:
1. Can we replace the WSDLs at their current URIs in the OOLibrray to fix this inconsistency in the schemaLocation attributes on the xs:imports?
2. Regardless of the answer to Q1, would we need a new committee specification ballot to approve such a change? (The actual specs themselves would be unaffected by this change).

If the answer is (1) Yes, (2) No then we can proceed with producing the OASIS membership ballot materials. Otherwise we may want to consider fixing this first and re-approving the committee specs (which actually require no changes).

We can use our regular TX meeting this week to discuss this.

Regards,
Ian Robinson
