Weather station WSDL and RequestProcessingDigest comments

[David Melgar <dmelgar@us.ibm.com>]

On the call today I questioned if we
needed to define weather station WSDL. But it seems like we do need to
define an operation on a web service. 
In the MOWS Request Processing Digest
act, there needs to be some operation which is invoked which causes the
event to be sent. This operation could be a GetResourceProperty(FCCID)
or GetManageabilityReferences.

It is unclear to me what resource is
intended to be represented by the Weather Station Service. Is it a webservice
(MOWS), or is the resource a weather station? Correlateable properties
are meant to indicate if two different EPRs represent management of the
same resource. Using FCCID property to determine if two web services represent
the same resource seems to indicate that the resource is the weather station,
not the web service.

If the weather station web service is
intended to be the web service managed using MOWS then the GetResourceProperty
or GetManageabilityReferences operation can be invoked on this web service
to drive the Request Processing Digest act. This step should be added to
the act.

The provided WSDL for weather station
mixes the business web service, and the management provider endpoint. These
should be separate port types. They could be implemented at the same port,
but this is not typical. The resource properties document reference by
each port type is different since the properties available through each
port type differ.

Weather station port type (business)
should have the following operations as a minimum:
- GetResourceProperty:  FCCID is
the only required property. 
- GetManageabilityReferences

ManagementProvider port type which manages
the weather station needs to have these operations:
- GetResourceProperty: WSDM defined
properties, MOWS metrics, etc.
- GetMultipleResourceProperties
- Subscribe
- GetCurrentMessage: This isn't used
by the interop scenarios, but is part of the NotificationProducer port
type defined by WSN.

Subject	[wsdm] Interop Wsdl Files

I've attached our WSDL files for the various interop
services and the
xsd (corrected xsd:String-> xsd:string) from the interop document..
You'll notice that the spec WSDLs and XSDs are referenced using relative
paths..that will probably need to change....

Note: I have the GetManageabilityReferences operation
in the
WeatherStation service, however I think it was noted that the operation
could exist in another service.

Thx!
