Proposal for resolving ISSUE 33

Title: NEW ISSUE: Incorrect uses of RFC 2119 'MAY' in SBPEL3013

 

I realized that we already opened an issue (BPEL-33)[1] on 
the last call [2] that covers the issue in my below email. Therefore please 
ignore my below email.

 

Also, I would like to propose the following as a proposal 
for resolving issue BPEL-33

 

Change SBPEL3013 to 
read as: 

A WS-BPEL process definition can override 
the default mapping of partner links to services or references as described in 
section 2.1 by explicitly marking the partner link with an SCA attribute that 
describes the service or reference.

Change SBPEL3014 to 
read as: 

To explicitly map a partner link to a service, the sca-bpel:service attribute 
is specified for the partner link.

 

Thanks,

Sanjay

Subject: [sca-bpel] NEW ISSUE: Incorrect 
  uses of RFC 2119 'MAY' in SBPEL3013

  

  
Title: Incorrect uses of RFC 2119 'MAY' in 
  SBPEL3013

Target: SCA BPEL spec

Description: 
The RFC 2119 guideline for using the word 
  'MAY' is: 
This word, or the 
  adjective "OPTIONAL", mean that an item is
truly optional.  One vendor 
  may choose to include the item because a
particular marketplace requires it 
  or because the vendor feels that
it enhances the product while 
  another vendor may omit the same item. 

  
SBPEL3013 reads as: A WS-BPEL 
  process definition MAY override the default mapping of partner links to 
  services or references as described in section 2.1 by explicitly marking the 
  partner link with an SCA attribute that describes the service or reference. 
  

  
The word 'MAY' in this statement is 
  intended to point out a feature that is available for users of the products 
  implementing the specification and is not intended to point out the 
  optionality from a vendor implementation point of view.

  
Proposal: 
Change SBPEL3013 to read as: 
A WS-BPEL process definition can override 
  the default mapping of partner links to services or references as described in 
  section 2.1 by explicitly marking the partner link with an SCA attribute that 
  describes the service or reference.
