Re: [wsrp-interfaces] XMLPortletRequest Proposal

I like the general nature of this proposal,
but in looking at detail at it, I realized that it addresses an intermediate
set of goals rather than one of the three set out on our calls. We had
discussed three interesting cases:

1. Portlets doing AJAX without Consumer
involvement/knowledge

2. Consumers leveraging AJAX to enable
partial page updates (i.e. independent of what the Portlet is doing)

3. Consumer-Portlet cooperation such
that a Portlet can leverage the browser-side nature of AJAX on top of the
Consumer doing partial page updates.

This proposal hits an intermediate goal
where the Consumer does partial page updates only in the case of the Portlet
using AJAX to activate URLs (i.e. a Portlet submitting a URL not using
AJAX would cause a full page refresh). Whether there is sufficient value
to add this to the set of goals or simply expand this proposal to complete
the 3rd set of goals should be one of our items to discuss.

[wsrp-interfaces] XMLPortletRequest
Proposal

I posted a rough draft of the proposal at

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/wsrp/XMLPortletRequest_Proposal

The key objective of the proposal is to allow portlets do Ajax 

programming and still participate in the three-phase lifecycle.
