[wsrp-coord] Event handling operation: Placement and Signature

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

Today's conference call came from two
different directions toward the need for a generic operation via which
the Consumer would pass events to a Portlet via the Producer. A couple
of questions about such an operation are:

Placement? It was stated
again today that such an operation would need to be in the Markup portType
so as to allow proper handling of any cookies used to reference sessions
on clustered J2EE servers. Any objections to placing the operation in the
Markup portType?

Signature? The signature
previously proposed was:
           
events[] handleEvents(registrationContext, portletContext, runtimeContext,
events[])

Andre mentioned that we might want to
include an optimization whereby the Consumer could indicate (presumably
in runtimeContext) that returning markup would be sensible and then also
a place in the response for a markupContext. Any other comments at this
point in the overall discussion?
