E907

It should be possible for a Consumer to batch update multiple properties of the Producer with one invocations.

 

Debate: GT, PQ, TC, SR, WC, RT.

Debate whether this is true for all WSIA operations.

 

I think the edit we came up with is fine, althought I also think that this *is* true for all (or most) WSIA operations.  The problem I have is that as requirements we may want to single out operations that can be performed in batch to simplify our scope.  All WSIA operations can be done in batch, but this may be to complex a specification for rev 1.  I imagine there might be some more complex state management if getMarkup() or invokeAction() were able to be invoked in batch.  Therefore, I propose that we might want to keep this requirement for only properties at this time.  I would expand the requirement (or add more reqs) to encompass reading properties and performing updates and reads along with other operations (for example, getMarkup() or invokeAction()).  I would also expand the definition to encompass all types of “updates” for clarity.

 

New edit:

 

It should be possible for a Consumer to batch create, read, update and delete multiple properties of the Producer with one invocation.  It should also be possible to perform this operation in conjunction with other operations.

 

Question:  What other operations might be perform in batch they we would want to include in the reqs, if any?
