Subject: [sca-bpel] [NEW ISSUE] Conformance statement SBPEL3021 is
inappropriate and unnecessary

Description:

Normative
statement SBPEL3021 reads: 

[SBPEL3021] An
SCA extension attribute sca-bpel:requires MAY be used to declare required
policy intents on a partner link. 

First, the MAY
is invalid, since it is required that an SCA runtime supports the
sca-bpel:requires attribute.  The MAY here actually 

is talking
about the option that a BPEL process writer has to express policy intents using
that attribute. 

Second, the
mandatory conformance aspects of the sca-bpel:requires attribute are defined in
SBPEL3022 and SBPEL3023, 

making
SBPEL3021 redundant. 

Proposal:

Remove the
normative statement SBPEL3021 and the following sentences in the same paragraph
and replace it with the following text: 

---------------------

The
sca-bpel:requires attribute on a partnerLink is available for BPEL process
designers to associate SCA abstract policy intents 

with a
partnerLink element.  Policy intents specified on a partnerLink element
using the sca-bpel:requires attribute become part 

of the
componentType of the BPEL process, appearing as the content of a @requires
attribute on either a <service/> or a 

<reference/>
element in the componentType, depending on whether the partnerLink is used as a
service or as a reference. 

The form of the
sca-bpel:requires attribute is as follows: 

---------------------

This proposal
also means the removal of the corresponding Test Assertion from the
TestAssertions document for BPEL.
