NEW ISSUE: Clarify rules around combination of destination, CF and ASelements

TARGET: SCA JMS Binding Specification
CD-01

DESCRIPTION: 

The current description of the ConnectionFactory,
ActivationSpec and Destination elements in section 4 do not completely
describe the valid combinations.  The text needs to be updated to
clarify this, and the XML schema written to enforce the restrictions.

PROPOSAL:

From earlier emails, the following should
be true for the JMS binding:

1) ConnectionFactory and ActivationSpec
are mutually exclusive within a <binding.jms> or <response>
element. 

This is reflected in the text

2) When specifying a ConnectionFactory
in a <request> element, the Destination is mandatory. 

This is not reflected.  Update
required:

line 188 add:  "When this
element is present, the destination element MUST also be present"

3) When specifying a ConnectionFactory
in a <response> element, the Destination is optional. 

This is implicit, although the meaning
of the destination is not clear.  Need to add some clarification:

line 195 add: "for a service, this
destination is used to send response to messages that have a null value
for the JMSReplyTo destination.  For a reference, this destination
is used to receive reply messages".  

Note that the RFC language that describes
this is included in the message exchange patterns section.

4) When specifying an ActivationSpec,
Destination is optional; when creating resources if not specified the system
provides a Destination, otherwise if specified must be consistent with
the ActivationSpec. 

line 191 add:  If a destination
element is also specified it MUST refer to the same JMS destination as
the activationSpec.

5) A service <response> must not
specify an ActivationSpec; a reference <binding.jms> must not specify
an ActivationSpec.

line 191 add:  This element MUST
NOT be present when the binding is being used for an SCA reference.

line 202 add:  This element MUST
NOT be present when the binding is being used for an SCA service.

I'd need help validating that the XML
schema enforces these rules where possible/appropriate, although I suspect
that only 2) could be enforced by schema.
