Nice! Cheers, Andre. PS.: the mailing list still seems broken. Appearently a spam filter maintained by OGF's ISP kicks in too often. We are working on getting it fixed... I wonder why it classifies so many of our mails as spam... ;-) Quoting [Fisher, SM (Steve)] (May 22 2007):
Subject: Attribute interface and Service Discovery From: "Fisher, SM (Steve)" <S.M.Fisher@rl.ac.uk> To: saga-rg@ggf.org
Hi,
I have got round to start editing the short service discovery document again. During one of the OGF seesions I suggested that to avoid clashes between the two sets of attributes in a service_description we could introduce 2 container objects both of which would implement the attribute interface. This would lead to code, where s is a service\_description:
s.get_glue().get_attribute("some predefined 'glue' attribute")
s.get_data().get_attribute("some key value in the key value pair")
This was more or less agreed by those present. However I would now like to suggest a small change:
s.get_attribute("some predefined 'glue' attribute") s.get_data().get_attribute("some key value in the key value pair")
This requires only one new container object and I think more faithfully represents the model.
I will start editing in this direction tomorrow unless I hear objections.
Steve
