[ogsa-hpcp-wg] MS HPCBasicProfile Web Service

[Peter G. Lane]

Let me elaborate on why I need EPRs to be a requirement. Our implementation will be a stateful 
service with a static state resource for each resource manager that we interact with on the back end 
(i.e. fork/exec, PBS, LSF, Condor, ...). What this means is that you have to have a resource 
reference that cannot be obtained from the WSDL in order for our service dispatcher to know what 
state resource is associated with a particular CreateActivity (or any other BES-Factory operation) 
call. This is what EPRs are primarily good for. I realize stateless services don't need it, but if 
EPRs aren't supported then there's no realistic way we can participate seeing as thought we'd have 
to rewrite GRAM to, I guess, only do fork/exec. I know .Net has support for EPRs (heck, Microsoft 
was a coauthor for the WS-Addressing spec!), so I don't see this as a huge burden. And as I said 
before, we are assuming EPRs for the Activity references, so it's a bit puzzling that anybody would 
use anything else for the factory.
