Subject: RE: [wsia][wsia-requirements][R602]
Title: Message
My thought was around people that use scripts like
this:
<script>
var target = "http://" + gMyDomain +
"/mypage.rgb?page="
+ document.form[1].pageNumber.value;
document.location = targert;
</script>
My intent was to formulate a part of the requirement that clearly states
that WSIA cannot expect Consumers to automatically rewrite this action to point
back to the Consumer.
Does this make sense as the intent of this part of the
requirement?
As for a proposed solution, one can consider three
options:
1. Disallow such cases and other such constructs (which is always the
last resort).
2. Define a meta-language that does not require changes to the script
(assuming it's a script that was written beforehand), and tries to capture the
replacement locations externally (a-la adaptation). However, the halting problem
(;-) does argue that there will still be cases that the external language won't
be able to address.
3. Ensure that enough information is passed to the Producer so that when
it either writes new applications or when it needs to adapt cases like this, it
would be technically possible.
Any thoughts?
