* 15 Minute break

 

* Charter

Walk-through skipped due to lack of interest

 

* Web Service Binding walked through by Simon Holdsworth

Eric: notes that there are specification mentions WSDL 2.0,
but does not follow through the rest of the document.

   An example is that an intent could be created
to request the generation of WSDL 2.0 rather than WSDL 1.1.

 

- Discussion of whether/when policySets cause WS-Policy
attachments to be generated in the WSDL for a binding.ws instance.

   Agreement that an issue lurks here.

 

- Question of whether this TC can pass an issue to another
TC.

    Jeff: The only way to send an email to a
TC is for a member to send the email (not TC to TC).

 

* Walk through of the JMS binding specification

 

* Discussion of the status of the JCA binding specification

No contribution has yet been made w.r.t. a JCA binding

A specification for JCA binding will be posted on the OSOA
site on Friday.

A contribution to this TC can be expected in about a month.

 

* Other bindings

The charter allows for binding specifications to be created for
several other technologies (REST, ATOM, etc).

Anyone on the TC is free to contribute a document that could
be used to initiate work on any of these bindings.

 

* AOB

Simon: should we consider adding an example to the
specification to show how callbacks can be supported with the WS binding
specification?

General agreement that it would be a good idea.

It would not profile a technology like WS-Addressing, since
it would not say how thinks must be done, but only how they may be done.

 

Owen: will the issues process prevent bindings from being
worked on that are of interest by only a small subgroup of the bindings TC?

Answer (from various): any technology will ultimately have
to go through a majority of the TC.

 

* Meeting adjourned 16:04 PDT
