Subject: RE: [wsrp-wsia] [change request #173] What does it mean to supportregistration?
my understanding of the requiresRegistration field was thet the producer might state that the "null-Registration" context is useless, say if a Consumer wants to use this Producer it must register first. It does not say _how_ to establish a registation context, i.e. in-band or out-of-band. If we need to define the how we should have a flag like "supportsInlineRegistration". But I thought that this is expressed by supporting the registration port type. There are several means to find out if this port type is supported. Óne of them might be an appropriate model in registries like UDDI. Another one is WSDL introspection. Or as some prefer: "Google" :-) Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards, Richard Jacob ______________________________________________________ IBM Lab Boeblingen, Germany Dept.8288, WebSphere Portal Server Development Phone: ++49 7031 16-3469 - Fax: ++49 7031 16-4888 Email: mailto:richard.jacob@de.ibm.com |---------+----------------------------> | | Rich | | | Thompson/Watson/I| | | BM@IBMUS | | | | | | 02/21/2003 06:51 | | | PM | |---------+----------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: wsrp-wsia@lists.oasis-open.org | | cc: | | Subject: RE: [wsrp-wsia] [change request #173] What does it mean to support registration? | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| More fundamentally, there is a difference between supporting registration and requiring it. The semantics of the statement in question relate to supporting registration while the reference is to the flag which only reflects whether or not registration is required.

We could rename "requiresRegistration" to "requiresOnlineRegistration". Or instead, have a String[] registrationMethods in ServiceDescription, with "wsrp-registration" meaning online, other values unspecified. Even for 1.0, I do not think we should require consumers to look into the WSDL service details. URLs for endpoints could be obtained through other means (e.g. UDDI), and one URL may even be multiplexed to more than one factor, so the only way to check the online registration requirement would be to attempt to call register(), if we make this flag only mean "requires some form of registration". regards, Andre -----Original Message----- From: Rich Thompson [mailto:richt2@us.ibm.com] Sent: 21 February 2003 15:59 To: wsrp-wsia@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [wsrp-wsia] [change request #173] What does it mean to support registration?
