RE: [wsrp-pfb] Presentation for F2F

["Richard Jacob" <richard.jacob@de.ibm.com>]

I completly agree with Claus,

we shouldn't tie the WSRP spec and the registry specs like UDDI to tight.
I assumed that we want to first decide on the data model from the WSRP
point of view, defining which data/metadata about a producer/portlets needs
to be published in general.
And then to map these data to an appropriate datamodel which is registry
specific and describe the registry specific methology for pub/find.
Here my suggestion was to have a "WSRP in UDDI technical note/document"
which defines the mapping of WSRP data to the UDDI datamodel.
This would make us independant as Claus pointed out.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards,

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
