Eric Newcomer on WS-RF again
Eric identifies the intended use of WS-RF and WS-Context as their main difference (addressing of state vs interaction state management). I agree that WS-Addressing + local-to-the-service information is a way to identify explicitly exposed resources. But then we have to…

Related to my last post
After I posted my previous entry, I read Jeff Frey’s response to one of Mark Little’s messages. Jeff’s message confirms my last post’s assertion about the tight-coupling of a resource’s state, its identity, and an interface. According to Jeff, they…

A brief thought on WS-RF
My friend Jim from “down under” told me today over messenger that my blog is “more of a social diary than a blog”. So, here’s a thought on WS-RF with which I think he will agree… I think from now…

SFMOMA
In every city I visit, one of the first things I go to see is that city’s modern art museum. Due to other commitments, I only managed to visit San Francisco’s during my last day here. The “San Francisco Museum…

Brief comment by Eric Newcomer on WS-RF
Eric posted to the WS-CAF mailing list a brief comment on WS-RF. His comments are very much inline with what we’ve been saying since August 2003 as part of our WS-GAF proposal. The message was also forwarded in the OGSI-WG…

I was reassured that our WS-GAF ideas are correct
I just got out of a loooong session with the authors of the WS-Resource Framework specs. From what I’ve heard, I am now reassured that our WS-GAF ideas were all spot on. In fact, many of the things we have…

Mark Baker agrees
I should have added to my previous post that Mark agrees with the approach of building distributed applications around the concept of resources (identity+interface+state)… but that’s to be expected given Mark’s view on REST.

Mark Baker on the WS-Resource spec
Although Marksees it from a REST point of view, I agree with him about the coupling of identity plus interface plus state. They are re-inventing distributed objects.
