DDSXTY14 — DataRepresentationQosPolicy default

Open Closed All
  • Key: DDSXTY14-27
  • Status: closed   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    7.6.3.1.1 ends with
    "The default value of the DataRepresentationQosPolicy shall be an empty list of preferences.
    An empty list of preferences shall be taken to be equivalent to a list containing the single element XCDR"

    This contradicts the rest of the section which describes how XCDR (v1) is optional. The default should be XCDR2.

  • Disposition: Resolved — DDS-XTypes 1.4b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Implementation-defined default for DataRepresentationQosPolicy

    Section 2.3 defines an optional profile makes it clear that compatibility with XTypes 1.1 is not required. The text in 7.6.3.1 must be updated to reflect this.

    The use of the term "list of preferences" in section 7.6.3.1.1 is confusing, this proposal replaces it.
