Re: [sca-bindings] Proposed resolutions for issues - overview
Hi Simon,

A few comments:

(1) BINDINGS-95: I prefer the alternative resolution in http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200911/msg00010.html

(2) BINDINGS-104: In the resolution, what's the difference between BJM30015 and BJM30016.  30016 looks like it subsumes all of 30015.

(3) BINDINGS-107: We need to resolve this on the next telecon. Can we get this moved to the top of the priority list in the telecon....just in case?

[sca-bindings] Proposed resolutions for issues - overview

Folks, 

This is a summary of the set of open issues that we currently have with proposed resolutions, and my take on them.  Hopefully this will expedite resolution of the issues in the TC - I would really like to get these resolved prior to the Christmas break, allowing a new revision of the bindings specs and TA documents early in the new year which the TC could then consider for the next committee draft. 

I would encourage you to take a look at these proposed resolutions if at all possible before Thursday's meeting and raise any concerns via email prior to the meeting so that we can progress through the resolutions quickly. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-94:  scaCallbackDestination destination name unclear 

Proposed resolution in email: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200911/msg00008.html 

Latest email: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200912/msg00001.html 

Summary: 

Clarify the syntax of the destination "name" that appears in the scaCallbackDestination user property - proposal is that this should be a JMS URI. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-95: BJM30032 and BJM30035 conflict 

Proposed resolution: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200911/msg00010.html 

Summary: 

These normative statements conflict because the conditions under which they apply overlap. 

The proposal is to make the statements more specific by including additional conditions under which they apply which were previously implicit from the context of the statements; it covers issues 95, 105 and 106 which all affect the same overall set of statements. 

Linked email provides two alternatives: modify existing statements to ensure conditions on the statements are exclusive, or replace all the statements with single statements that define behaviour via a prioritised list of conditions. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-96: BJM60012 and BJM60013 conflict 

Status: Proposed resolution in JIRA 

Summary: 

These normative statements conflict because the conditions under which they apply overlap. 

The proposal is to make one of the statements more specific by including another condition under which it applies which was previously implicit from the context of the statement. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-103:  optional used in normative statement 

Status: Proposed resolution in email http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200911/msg00037.html 

Summary: 

"optional" is used in a normative statement without normative meaning. 

Proposal is to replace the use of "optional" and ensure that the normative statements are clear, along with a schema update to make the schema reflect the intended optionality of the jndiName attribute. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-104:  Expected @create attribute value not clear in some normative statements 

Status: Proposed resolution in JIRA 

Summary: 

Another case where statements overlap due to omission of contextual information. 

Proposal is to explicitly state the conditions in the normative statements that previously were implicit from context. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-105:  BJM30025 has no normative keyword 

Proposed resolution: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200911/msg00010.html 

Summary: 

This issue overlaps with BINDINGS-95, see above. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-106: BJM30027 has no normative keyword 

Proposed resolution: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200911/msg00010.html 

Summary: 

This issue overlaps with BINDINGS-95, see above. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-107: What is the purpose of definitions/binding element? 

Status: Proposed resolution in email http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200911/msg00035.html 

Summary: 

Use of bindings element in definitions file is not necessary, some agreement on just removing all mention of it from bindings specs, reflected in the proposed resolution.  This would also apply to BINDINGS-108 when opened. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-101: Opaque references - need for a terminology list? 

Status: no proposed resolution 

Summary: 

Needs editors to look at the specifications and come up with a way to define references to SCA assembly and policy terms. 

http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS-102: Need to specify all valid enumerations for @create attribute and others 

Status: no proposed resolution 

Summary: 

Needs editors to look at the specifications and identify where enumeration values are not fully defined.
