update

Looks very interesting. I had 
some questions regarding the WSXL document:

 

Am I correct in my understanding that the framework 
assumes that the Producer has a stateful service (portlet) end, that can store 
and return the property values? Is this something you have been debating 
internally? Did you also consider a hybrid model in which the Producer doesn't 
have to store the property list, but rather receives it in the 
getOutput/invokeAction calls, but still able to publish a schema for those 
properties? Were there any interesting other approaches and pros and 
cons?

 

Regarding properties, did you envision that any schema 
would be legal, or did you envision a model where the scheme is constrained in 
some way (e.g., name value pairs, ...)?

 

You chose to have a semi-dynamic model for adaptation 
points, so they are not specified as part of the WSDL (makes sense, since they 
might change with versions of the implementation), but are the same for all 
instances (i.e., not on a per-instance basis). Did you have discussions around 
cases where the WSXL service is itself highly customizable or personalized 
(based on user / configuration / sequence of pages / properties) so that the 
page layout changes significantly, and how to address that within the 
framework?
