Mike,
Great, this is write up is much cleaner than the previous one.
* entity reference.
<AA-1> What is the use case for this? Do we really need it?
* API
<AA-2> Is there any reason why the updateConsumer and deregisterConsumer
functions have the ConsumerRef as a separate parameter when it's already
part of the ConsumerCtx?
<AA-3> It would be nice if we can complete the propose API. At least for
me, it will be much easier to visualize the complete lifecycle.
* Data
<AA-4> What is the use case of a consumer sending session data to the
producer (as part of the PreambleData) ?
<AA-5> The FragmentRequestData does not contain something like window state
<AA-6> FragmentResponse defines responseProperties, are those properties
to be updated in the consumer or headers to be send back to the client ?
* Session creation
<AA-7> How are you proposing session creation will happen for the
different scopes?
Thanks and regards.
