27 of 40 members attended the meeting.

Meeting started at 11:03am EST

Last weeks minutes were accepted.

Rich went over the issues left over from last week:

#154 Rename "entity" to "portlet" 

        Resolved:
rename "entity" to "portlet entity" (matches
JSR168).

        No
objections

#163 Restructure performInteraction and performBlockingInteraction

        Resolved:
Since UpdateResponse contains a superset of the fields in
InteractionResponse, 

                replace
those fields with one that is of type InteractionResponse.

        No
objections.

#164 An entity SHOULD support help, and CAN support edit

        Resolved:
Drop verbage about supporting optional modes of windows state.

        No
objections.

#155 Rename 'FAULT' entityStateChange flag

        Resolved:
Rename field "entityState"

        No
objections

#184(no number at meeting time)can performInteraction return new
navigationalState?

        Raised by
Gil. Discussion about if it is a non-blocking action.  Not having
the navigationalstate can force some

                existing
portals into a bad environment.  Entity developer needs the
navigationalstate returned.

                Gil
will assign an issue numnber.

        NOT
Resolved.

#165 The Consumer should not strip the namespace prefix from form
parameters

        Long
discussion.  This is tied to issue #179 about roles, which needs to
be resolved first.

        NOT
Resolved.

#166 Remove the section on load balancing

        Resolution:
Incorporate the ideas of this section in the Introduction and drop the
section.

        No
objections.

#167 userContextID should not be a required field

        Resolution:
Make userContextID nillable.  Revisit after looking at roles.

        No
objections.

#168 Make wsrp-navigationalState required

        Resolution:
Yes.  If missing then the new state is the empty string.  Make
consistent with interaction calls.

        No
objections.

#169 Does refresh page (F5/Ctrl+R) re-invoke
performBlockingInteraction?

        Discussion
about it being Consumer specific in the current draft.  Should it be
in the draft?

        NOT
Resolved.

#173 Add summary of interfaces in beginning of interface chapters

        Discussion
about adding a new chapter between current chapters 3 and 4.  Rich
will add proposal on email.

        NOT
Resolved.

Thomas brought up that we have only 3 Thursday meetings before the next
face-to-face and 3-4 large issues.  

Next meeting we will work on the minor issues and identify the major
issues.

2 January work on Registration and Roles

7 and 9 January (Tuesday and Thursday) will be 2 hour meetings.

Gil is looking for comments on the primer.

Meeting ended 12:23pm EST
