Subject: NEW Issue - WS-Discovery - Discovery messages and managed mode

 

Please defer discussions on this issue until a time this
issue is accepted and is assigned a number.

 

Description:

In the current specification describes the content of the
discovery messages and behavior in the ad-hoc mode. The WSDL and section 3
specifies that the same messages are used in the managed mode as well when
communicating with Discovery Proxy. There is no clear guidance on the content
of these messages when used for managed mode. Furthermore the Section 3
indicates that a Target Service may be configured to send announcements (Hello
and Bye) to a Discovery Proxy. However the Section 4.1 indicates that Hello
must be sent multicast. 

 

Proposed Resolution:

Clearly define managed mode. Defines the contents of the
discovery messages in managed mode and define the behavior of Target Service,
Client and Discovery Proxy in the managed mode.
