Title: RE: [wsrp-pfb] WSRP UDDI straw man

However, we should check that:

 

- it is ok to always publish a producer service when publishing a portlet. I might only wish to make Portlet A available in one registry and Portlet B in another registry but have the producer (not published in either registry) host A and B.

 

- we do not want to support per-portlet WSDL (e.g. extra port types).

 

I suspect that these are valid use cases to maybe we should just publish a wsdl link per portlet?

 

regards,

Andre

I generally like it, but:

Producer diagram:

- we should not need to look for keyValue = "Producer". The tModel key should be enough. This implies a separate tModel for Producer and Portlet.

- I don't see the need for a "Portlet Application" WSRP Type.

- Do we not in fact need a "WSRP V1.0" tModel (at the binding template level)? This would confirm the wsdl in the binding to be for a WSRP v1.0 service. The service level category seems to be too binding (and version) independent for me as is.

Portlet diagram (optional right?):

- Again, I would use a separatwe tModel rather than use "WSRP Type" with keyValue "Portlet".

- I like the idea of a reference but think we may want to have an extra convention: when a business only publishes one producer service than all portlets in that business MUST be hosted on that service and MAY omitt the keyedReference. [Easier to publish and maintain.]

regards,
Andre

Hi all,

after my vacation and illness I crawled through the pfb postings.
I tried to bring up a proposal for wsrp in UDDI following the discussion
points and issues raised on the last F2F and the threads here.
I though pictures say more then words so I created some figures to
illustrate rather than having a detailed description/paper.
It seeks for a very simple approach allowing us to publish producers as
well as portlets.
It also is compliant with what we have currently captured in Alan's
document.
This one is intended to be a starting point for a more detailed discussion
concerning UDDI.

(See attached file: WSRP-UDDI-Strawman.ppt)

Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards,
