Dear Eric,
I agree with your comments. In fact, back
in August 2003 we used WS-Context as an example of how stateful interactions and/or
distributed units of work could be modelled. This was part of our proposals for
a WSA-friendly framework for building Grid applications (http://www.neresc.ac.uk/ws-gaf).
Regards,

Subject: RE: [ws-caf] WS-Resource
Framework
I have the general impression of the OGSA
specs as the equivalence of CORBA.
On the topic of the WS-Resource Framework
in particular, I've looked through the specs and I think WS-Context could have
been used, and it's unfortunate it wasn't. I suppose the Resource
Framework effort grew out of the Grid work however so it has a completely
independent origin.
I also agree that I can't see a practical
difference between context management in transactions and the context
management defined for the Resource Framework.
It would be nice to try to converge these
things at some point and in some organization - is that OASIS?
