RE: [wsrm] Rel 33 and Rel 50, follow-up

Title: Rel 33

Following-up to last call, for our spec editor:

 

1. I 
propose that we format the resolution of Rel 33 as a set of two definitions in 
the Terminology section

(which 
I suggest should be renamed Definitions section, as it is not just about setting 
the vocabulary,

but 
also introducing precise and new semantics):

 

 

Message Delivery: 

Action of transfering the 
responsibility of processing further a message, 
from the RMP and onto the next processor entity. This action 
marks 
the end of the RMP processing for this 
message. The time at which this action 
occurs must be clearly indentifiable so that the next message 
processor 
can always establish in which 
order two deliveries are made. 

Examples of delivery are: pushing the 
message in a queue accessible by an application, 
calling back an application component, storing the message in 
a database where 
it is accessible by the 
next processor.

 

Acknowledgement:

An 
acknowledgement is a message containing an RM:Response element 
referring

to at 
least one previous message (and containing no RM:Fault element). 

An 
acknowledgement means that the acknowledged message has been completely and 

successfully delivered (see Message 
Delivery).

 

 

2. Here is the 
rewording of Rel 50 that was requested before it was approved, again formatted 
as a Definition item.

 

ExpiryTime:

As a mandatory element for each message, 
ExpiryTime indicates the ultimate time 

after which the receiver 
RMP MUST NOT deliver a 
received message to the application.

After a message has been sent for the first 
time, ExpiryTime in a message 

MUST NOT be modified in any case by the 
Sender, when resending the message:

two messages with same ID (i.e. duplicates) MUST have same 
ExpiryTime.

When a message expires on the Sender 
side before being either successfully sent or acknowledged,

a Sender RMP MUST NOT send it or resend it, 
and must communicate a delivery failure 

to the Sender application.

NOTE: 

- Given the above definition of ExpiryTime, 
in case duplicate elimination is required, 

when a received message is processed, it is 
sufficient to only check for its duplicates 

among IDs of past messages that have not 
expired yet at the time of the duplicate check.
