  • 1.  FW: Testing AS4 and WS-I BP20

    Posted 03-12-2012 05:14
    Makesh/Sander: Can we put AS4 testing (and compliance with WS-I BP2.0 profile) on the agenda of next meeting? Also, we should keep discussing the possibility of a “REST/JSON” version of AS4, as longer term item. Thanks, Jacques From: ebxml-msg@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:ebxml-msg@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Jacques Durand Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 5:47 PM To: ebxml-msg@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [ebxml-msg] Testing AS4 and WS-I BP20   I’d like to add a “Testing” agenda item for tomorrow call. Two sub-items: (a)     Conformance to WS-I Basic profile (BP2.0) . There exists a Test Suite for BP2.0 (I worked on it…) and we could use it provided we format our message exchanges in an XML log file. I could help on that. That would require first to be able to capture the HTTP trace of some AS4 exchanges. Can we do that on existing implementation(s)? Sander: could/does Holodeck generate this, or an accessory tool? (b)    Conformance to AS4: I suggest here to shoot for a small proof of concept methodology. That could  mean: (i) generate an HTTP trace that is then formatted as an XML log as in (a)(that alone could be a useful debugging feature). (ii) write some XML/XPath test assertions verifying AS4 requirements at envelope level or across messages (e.g. message-Receipt coupling)(I can help here), (iii) run the test tool Tamelizer http://code.google.com/p/tamelizer/ that verifies  test assertions over XML log. Point (a) might actually be very important to OASIS WS-I committee, as they lack an implementation of BP2.0 to be able to submit to ISO (they have 3, need 4). We need to comply with a subset of BP2.0 to qualify – say as a message Sender. We don’t need to conform to the WSDL part or to the (WS) “instance” part of BP2.0, out of scope for us. -jacques

      I'm assuming we have no call today,  not having seen any announcements. Next week I'm travelling, but Mar 28 is an option for me.   Pim From: ebxml-msg@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:ebxml-msg@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Jacques Durand Sent: 12 March 2012 06:14 To: ebxml-msg@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [ebxml-msg] FW: Testing AS4 and WS-I BP20 Makesh/Sander: Can we put AS4 testing (and compliance with WS-I BP2.0 profile) on the agenda of next meeting?
