Subject: RE: [wsdm] Upcoming Spec comment/Open issue note
Hi Fred, If I understand what you are asking, the answer is that this is provided by the implied resource pattern described in the "modeling state" white paper which is part of WSRF (http://devresource.hp.com/drc/specifications/wsrf/ModelingState-1-1.pdf ). The endpoint reference (EPR) contains the address of the manageability endpoint as well as (in the reference properties) any other info that is needed to specify which resource (in your example, which manageable endpoint) the request should be executed against.
