First off - did I miss the posting about the call today? Some comments inline below: Andreas Savva wrote:
- 3.1 CreateActivityFromJSDL: There should also be a fault for 'Not a JSDL 1.0 document' to cover the case of a document being well formed but not JSDL 1.0.
As there is likly to be more than one version of JSDL. Perhapse a better statment is "Does not conform to known JSDL format". We then need some way to say which JSDL formats a service can handle.
3.2 GetActivityStatus The definition of the fault feels like dictating implementation too much. If, say, a list of 100 activities is passed in and only 1 does not exist why shouldn't I be able to return a document with any gathered information including 'unknown activity' for just that activity? So I'd rather have no fault here and extend the definition of the values returned in the output document.
Agreed.
The definition of state 'Other' (p7) says that it is an 'unknown' state but this is not correct. 'Unknown' and 'Other' should be separate with 'Other' being an extensibility point. And it should be possible to return additional information in that case. So the structure defined should be ... <OverallStatus state="(enumerated state)" otherstate="(this container specific states)"?) ... and otherstate is only defined when state=Other
Could this get horribly complex? Just a worry. steve..

Further change tracked revsion to the changes Andrew made in the call.
Ignoring white space alterations: * Extra arrow on the action state change diagram for Not Started to Active change. * Revision to the execution action with the 'Execution State' being reflected in the top-level state diagram. * Moving the authorisation issue to the security section.
Discussion will continue from section 3.3 on this Thursday's call.
