Subject: RE: [wsrp] [wsia] [wsrp-wsia joint interfaces] Search results page,map services, transient entities.
I don't understand why transient entities are created in this scenario. Why is the search results page creating the transient entities?
I can think of a case where the search results page provides a set of clickable GIFs that correspond to the hotel services but NOT actually create transient entities at the Producer. If the user actually clicks on one of them, it is at that time the consumer requests the producer to create an entity (transient or persistent) and then embeds the output of the entity in its web page.
Am I missing something?
thanks,

I think that this is a very good scenario where transient entities make
sense.
Best regards

Alan,
I think that one example scenario is a search results page, say for hotels,
that dynamically displays multiple maps - a map for each hotel found.
Assuming that maps are remote services, and assuming that the number of
results is dynamic, the Consumer needs to create multiple copies of the map
service. If we allow the Producer to determine the persistence state of
those maps, that would mean that someone will have to take care of the
lifetime of those maps. The Consumer can't, because the page may be gone
without the Consumer never knowing about it (the user closes the browser
window). The Producer can't, because it can't tell whether the Consumer has
stored a reference to those maps as part of a design-time description of a
user page.
Is that along the lines of what you were looking for?
