RE: [wsrp-pfb] Presentation for F2F

Alan,

Thanks for the update on the current status.
I must admit that I did not find time to participate in recent WSRP PFB SC meetings. Have you still had weekly conference calls?

I have a couple of comments regarding the approach outlined in the presentation.

The approach to publish and discover WSRP portlet services in Web service registries is almost completely independent of the WSRP version. In fact, it should also cover registration and retrieval of WSRP 1.0 artefacts. Thus, I wonder why slide 2 proposes to a) limit the approach to WSRP 1.1 and b) make it a normative part of the specification. IMO, a separate specification can address any WSRP version and be versioned on its own. Imagine a new UDDI errata requires the WSRP PFB approach to change - we would end up with a change of the WSRP specification itself.

I understand the need to address compatibility with Web service registry specifications but don't understand why certain platforms (Java, .Net) are in scope (slide 3). We should focus on interoperability - portability on certain platforms can be addressed by other groups.

Does this make sense?

Thanks,
 Claus
