Subject: RE: [wsrp] [wsia] [wsrp-wsia joint interfaces] agenda for Tuesday 11June
Gil -
1-3: the consumer MUST explicitly create entities (transient or
persistent). It can decide to create sessions explicitly if it wants to
share them amongs entities, otherwise it can let the producer create
sessions on the fly.
4: the decision to have multiple entities per session is up to the consumer
who make this choice based on the producer's metadata. e.g think of
portlets that form a shop together. These would want to share a session
with each other. But the consumer could decide to have two shops of the
same type on the same page. Then there would be two sessions and only the
consumer could know what portlet shares what session.
5: The consumer should create a session before issuing a getFragment call.
The entity is created whenever necessary.
6: A Session is a bucket that holds some data (physically on the provider)
and times-out after a while. A transient entity is a remote portlet that
does not store any data in a DB.
Hope that helped.
Best regards

Carsten, could you clarify some things for me?
1. If sessions and entities are orthogonal, what SHOULD the Consumer do?
2. SHOULD it create a transient entity _and_ a session?
3. MUST it do so?
4. Who gets to decide whether there are multiple entities per session or
multiple sessions per entities?
5. When SHOULD a Consumer create a session and when a transient entity?
6. What _is_ a session, logically? What _is_ a transient entity?
