Having
composable namespaces does not ensure that the
implementations work. On the other hand, as I read the
document Dare gave us to reference, it should be easy
to
find out when they don't. To the tool users, all of these
services should be drag and drop items. The namespace
designers design according to the data being exchanged,
not
the implementations. The reason for some of the
more
complex WS specs is to provide assurances that
this
works blindly. How does a developer screw that
up?
I
can't tell what goes on in the minds of developers doing
the
implementing. I guess if they detest each other as
much
as some of the mail suggests, you might be right,
but if
so, they need to be laid off if they implement with
those
attitudes, and their work sent elsewhere. I don't
mind
if someone detests his web mate; I mind a great
deal
if they don't do the job they are paid to do.
So, we
are a pack of dogs? Ok.
But, that is why
WS registrars will vette code in accordance
with compliance and conformance test suites, and no
specification becomes a standard without one, and any
developer using unvetted web resources gets fired. Wow.
It
sure seems easier to mend fences and work together.

I don't think all of
these WS-* specs
*are* composable.
I don't think the BIMers
care two hoots if their specs work
with those from the
SOFties. Actually i sometimes think
they'd prefer it if they
didn't.

I
don't think so. If this is a composable set of specifications,
it
is a matter of the programmer not paving their own roads to
hell
by putting together components that don't work. So the
WSIO
profiles bear watching.
How
coarse a loosely coupled chunk work? In other words,
what
combinations are failure prone? Those will be questions
to
ask. We can make complex things work if they are composed
of
simpler things that work. Otherwise ALL of our cars would be
"unsafe at any speed".

a couple of years ago i
sat down to read a 130+ page
"design overview"
which had the
gall to quote "Occam's Razor"
as its design ethos.
It's a case of
WS-Paving-The-Road-to-hell ...
