Issue 146 - WS-Discovery - Conformance must require implementing atleast one of the prescribed roles

This issue is assigned the number 146. For further
discussions on this issue, please refer to this issue number or use this
thread.

 

Description:

 

Section 2.6 Compliance. As per
the current language (below) all of the roles and modes are optional. This is
too loose. We need to establish a minimal baseline for conformance.

 

“An endpoint MAY implement more than one of the roles;
Target Service, Discovery Proxy, and Client; and MAY implement it in more than
one of the modes; ad hoc and managed; however, for each implemented role and
mode, it MUST implement them as specified herein.”

 

Proposed
Resolution:

 

Change the MAY in the quoted
paragraph to be “MUST implement at least one” as follows:

 

“An endpoint MAY MUST implement more than
at least one of the roles; Target Service, Discovery Proxy, and Client;
and MAY implement it in more than one of the modes; ad hoc and managed;
however, for each implemented role and mode, it MUST implement them as
specified herein.”
