RE: [wsn] Potential issue on WS-BaseNotif: FAULT CODE?

["Alan Weissberger" <ajwdct@technologist.com>]

Steve and others,

What kind of a FAULT should be returned if the producer can not successfully process the subscribe request?

What is the FAULT code and does it follow WS Base Faults?

WHy has this not been specified in the current version of WS Base Notification?

David:
Yes, that would be the clarification, I too mapped "softening" in the way you suggested.

I'm not quite sure what "softening" means, whether that means adding outcomes or changing the MUST to a MAY.  Pressing valiantly onwards, my suggestion would be that the wording says something like: 
The NotificationProducer MUST create a Subscription resource representing the Subscription or generate a FAULT.  It returns an EndpointReference or a Faul
 t in the response to the Subscribe request. 
  
Cheers, 
Dave

I agree the wording could be improved to state that the production of an EPR to a subscription is the result of successful processing of the subscribe request.

Hi all,

Alan Weissberger pointed a potential issue in WS-BaseNotification:

Section 4.2 says: "As part of the processing of a Subscribe request
message, the NotificationProducer MUST create a Subscription resource
representing the Subscription. It returns an EndpointReference in the
response to the Subscribe request."

This does not leave the option to refuse to create this subscription, if
for ex
 ample the NotificationProducer does not support the topic
requested, or the subscriber does not have adequate permissions or the
NotificationProducer has reached max capacity or any other reason.

The suggestion is to soften the wording to allow this and to define
fault message(s) to express this.

Any comment or opposition to adding this as an issue?

Regards,

William
