Re: [wsrp] Issue #29: Is metadata needed to indicate support forgetResource?

As I said in the conference call today, its to allow a 1.0 consumer to upgrade
to 2.0 easily so they can run 2.0 producers that don't have a 1.0 port.  As
it stands, this seems to be the only none optional nwe feature being added.
 I might prefer leaving it out of 2.0 all together vs. making it turnkey
for 1.0 consumer to get up and running on 2.0.

  Is metadata required to say the caller 
is a v1 Consumer? I would expect a Producer which supports both v1 and v2
to know this is a v1 Consumer because the invocation came on the binding to
the v1 portType. 

 

  Another possible reason for Consumer metadata
would be if a v2 Consumer had the option of not supporting urls causing getResource
to be invoked. We have in general steered away from such things in order
to keep complexity down for the Producer and I would rather we require v2
Consumers provide this support than require v2 Producers to adapt.

  And vice-versa:  so a producer can adapt to run in a 1.0
consumer.

 Issue # 29 

 Spec section: 

 SubCommittee: Interfaces 

 Owner: Andre 

 Description: Isn’t metadata needed to tell a Consumer
whether or not a Producer supports getResource (or is it always supported
if urls encode for it and Consumers never invoke it unless a url has encoded
wsrp-useOperation=true)?
