2. I can see that WS-Transfer specifies some of the functionality of WSRF and WS-Eventing is largely equivalent to WS-BaseNotification, but what has WS-Enumeration to do with this? From a brief reading, it seems to specify functionality that is independent of either stack.
I think it looks like their state model, but considering the state of the service to be an enumeration of configurations is fairly perverse, and there does not seem to be any simple way of extending set of state transitions without developing a whole new spec on top of it. Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like something being pressed into service to do that which it was not designed for. Not that that's something that's never happened before in this industry, oh no! :^) Or am I way off base here? Donal.
