[OGSA-BES-WG] BES Last Call

[Andreas Savva]

Mark,

Sorry if this is an FAQ, but glancing through the document I'm not clear
on the distinction between the definitions of "UnsupportedFeatureFault"
and "InvalidRequestMessageFault".

For example, "UnsupportedFeatureFault" says  "... well-formed, supported
JSDL document input element containing a sub-element that is not
implemented by this BES implementation."

and "InvalidRequestMessageFault" says
"An element in the request message is not recognized. ... This does not
mean that the element itself is in error, but rather that it specifies a
syntactically correct value which does not in fact make sense."

Suppose that the jsdl 'other' value is used to provide extra XML content
in order to specify an operating system not in the OperatingSystem
enumeration. If a BES container does not 'support' this operating system
which of the two faults should be returned?

Btw, the CPU example is clear but it would not have been an example I
would have thought of given the normative definition ("..not
recognized") of the InvalidRequestMessageFault.
