Understanding WS-Discovery operational modes - WS-D Primer

Hello all,

 

During the first face to face, some of us felt
that the current WS-Discovery specification does not provide a
clear description of requirements and responsibilities of various actors in an
ad hoc mode and a managed mode. We made good progress on this during the
technical discussions and white boarded our understanding of the specification
in this regard. We filed and accepted a number of issues called “managed
cluster” in this regard. 

 

Please find the attached document titled “WS-Discovery
Primer” that captures the essence of our discussions and understanding,
and explains the behavior of a Target Service, a Client and a Discovery Proxy
in a managed mode and an ad hoc mode as defined by the current specification.
This document should allows us to be on the same page with respect to
understanding ad hoc and managed modes and message exchanges in these modes,
and help us make progress on the “managed cluster” issues.

 

Thanks,

Vipul Modi
