WSIA 5/8/2002: [wsia] [wsia-requirements][E907]

[Monica Martin <mmartin@certivo.net>]

Suggest:

A Consumer SHOULD be capable to batch multiple properties of the
Producer with one invocation:

*	
	create
*	
	read
*	
	update
*	
	delete

This operation MAY occur with other operations.

 

Need to decide if this is the finite set or a set that "includes".

 

Thanks.

	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?

	 

	Thanks,
