[ogsa-bes-wg] Attempted distillation of "Questionsandpotential changes to BES, as seen from HPC Profile point-of-view"

[Marvin Theimer]

Hi;

Yes, though there is the interesting question of whether it's worth pursuing that right away or whether it would be better to wait a bit until better tooling for WS-Transfer(-addendum) comes out.  I'm personally inclined toward the latter approach.

Marvin.

Marvin:

If we are support WS-Transfer, I think that means we need a WS-Transfer binding for BES?

So to summarize...



----------------

There are four implementation options that should be supported by the

spec for obtaining public state data:



1) WS-Transfer,

2) WSRF,

3) public state accessor operations,

4) basic interop.



An accessor operation for obtaining the activity status MUST be included

in each of the above implementation options.



Official QNames SHALL be defined for options 1-3.



The GetInteropData operation MUST return a list of QNames that

represents which of the above options is supported. An empty list

implies that ONLY option #4 is available.

----------------



We should also define what port types option #2 implies or break it up

into three different options for each of the three port types used for

resource property queries in WSRF (wsrp:GetResourceProperty,

wsrp:GetMultipleResourceProperties, and wsrp:QueryResourceProperties).



This sounds good to me.  I presume that basic interopmeans just the two accessor operations for activity status and complete activity infoset?



Marvin.
