Subject: RE: [wsrp-interfaces] [wsia][wsia-wsrp joint interfaces] Some ideas

Eilon,

For configuration, I view there being a separate step for doing the
customization. For instance, in the 0.22 draft,
I envision setting properties on the entityContext to be act of configuring
the entity. As an example, a consumer
may configure a stock quote producer to display a quote for a specific
ticker - say IBM using the Reuter's service
may always ask for an IBM quote.

For adaptation (or what we've been calling Customization - we can reject
this change if it causes more confusion
instead of less), I view it as being customization during the use of the
service. In the 0.22 draft with the changes I
proposed, I envision setting properties on one or more property buckets in
the requestContext to be the act of
adapting the entity. As an example, a consumer may provide a number of
stocks and purchase price to the
stock quote producer to get an additional "gain/loss" column with the quote
- say IBM providing information
about an employee's stock options and strike price to show them how much
they're making on their options.
This can be done for instance, via additional properties in the Action
state property bucket of the requestContext.
The producer would specify the names for these properties and the consumer
would create and set the
appropriate values in the requestContext before invoking getMarkup.

I hope I'm being clear.

Regards,

shankar
