NOT11 — subscription_change issue

  • Key: NOT11-11
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1618

  • Summary:

    Summary: The text describing the behaviour of implementations calling
    subscription_change on their suppliers:

    Suppliers that are not interested in the event types currently
    subscribed to will not invoke obtain_subscription_types, and will
    raise the NO_IMPLEMENT exception in their implementation of the
    subscription_change operation.

    The mechanism (raising NO_IMPLEMENT) is crude, and the continuing
    behaviour of the channel is unspecified; i.e. should the channel
    always call subscription_change and just put up with the exception? I
    should think not. However, should the channel assume that this
    supplier will never be interested in subscriptions ever again? Perhaps
    not. What if the supplier raises NO_IMPLEMENT, and then later calls
    obtain_subscription_types - does this indicate that it is now
    interested in subscription changes?
