Title: Message



Mike,
 
Per the tension you mentioned, and your previous e-mail with the 
"Container" interfaces (C1-C4).
 
This is a question that Rich referred to as "Heterogeneous versus 
Homogeneous" services. The question is whether the "container" behavior should 
be an explicit part of the interface (as you suggested in C1-C4 = 
"heterogeneous") or can be implicit in the interface by providing different 
"services" (in the WSDL sense), each representing a separate portlet type (= 
"homogeneous"). 
 
Why do you feel that WSRP needs the heterogeneous service? Couldn't a 
single container/server provide different services for different portlet types, 
and use WSDL techniques (mainly, URL paths) to differentiate between the 
different portlets?
