RE: [wsrp-wsia] [change request #168] Nil desiredLocales => sendAllLocales?

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

yes, Andre I agree.
The semantics of the usage of these two flags are different that reducing
sendAllLocales to desiredLocales=nill.
The desiredLocales array determines the preffered order of the locales and
as Andre said I would also expect the first one in the array to be set
inline in localized string (xml:lang attribute).

Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards,

We would loose the ability for a producer to re-order resources (or even
filter the full list, e.g. if we allow "fr" as well as "fr-CA") in the case
where the consumer was also supplying desiredLocale values with
sendAllLocales==true.

At least the first desiredLocale (if a desiredLocales[0] is given with
sendAllLocales==true) is somewhat likely to be the one provided inline in
LocalizedStrings if the producer does not just blindly return all
resources.

Andre

Document: Spec

Requested by: Mike Freedman

Old text: getServiceDecription(RegistrationContext, desiredLocales,
sendAllLocales);
Proposed text: getServiceDecription(RegistrationContext, desiredLocales);

Reasoning:
Change the semantics so that an empty/nil desiredLocales merely means send
them all.  This improves clarity as some of our internal readers think
"sendAllLocales" qualifies "desiredLocales" vs. is used instead of it.

If approved, also change this for getPortletDescription.

[RT] Also would apply to getPortletPropertyDescription.
