Subject: RE: [wsrp] spec-2.0-draft-05: lifetime interfaces: metadatarequired?
yes, probably. In that case producers would have to allow for a "infinite lifetime" in that case.

Yes, consumers that don't support renewal would have to be careful in using producers that offer the lifetime management ports, as leases would just expire if lifetimes are ignored. So as a minimum, consumers need to check 2.o offered ports. Turing this around somewhat: are we looking for a way to allow a consumer to say it does not support leasing and would not supplying an lifetime element value to factories be a legacy sustaining way to do this?

In the current draft it seems to me that we really require consumers to manage lifetime. With the service description (could be a simpler one) Consumers could still choose to not interop with prodcucers requiring lifetime management. > > Regards, > Andre > > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Jacob [mailto:richard.jacob@de.ibm.com] > Sent: 04 March 2005 11:32 > To: wsrp@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: [wsrp] spec-2.0-draft-05: lifetime interfaces: metadata > required? > > Hi all, > > - the current approach forces Consumers to use the lifetime operations > whenever the producer requires them (makes sense of course :-) ), i.e. > if > the Producer sets the lifetime in the according context structures > (RegCtx&PortletCtx). > Don't we lock out Consumers not supporting these operations from using > Producers requiring lifetime management even if the Producer supports > "infinite" lifetime? > The questions I'm targetting at are: > Do we need metadata in the ServiceDescription and PortletDescription > about > the lifetime requirements? > > I could imagine a lifetimeDecsription like: > <LifetimeDescription> > <maxLifeTime> (in seconds) > <maxRefreshDuration> (in seconds) > </LifetimeDescription> > with > maxLifeTome=null -> infinite lifetime possible, explicit destruction > supported > maxLifeTime=xxx -> requestor not allowed to set this longer than the > period > specified > with > maxRefreshDuration=0 -> no automatic refresh, need explicit refresh > maxRefreshDuration=xxx -> automatic refresh, requestor not allowed to > set > this longer than specified here > > In this case Consumers not supporting lifetime management could still > use > Producers which in general support lifetime management but allow also > for > infinite lifetime, i.e. explicit destroy. > Consumers not supporting lifetime management could opt to not use > Producers/Portlets which enforce lifetime management. > > Otherwise we will lock out Consumers willing to support 2.0 but not > willing > to manage lifetime. > > Another question is: > Producers could choose to support infinite lifetime for certain > Consumers > only (i.e. special registration) but for null registrations or > "try-and-buy" registrations only a limited lifetime.
