OTS11 — avoiding the register_resource round trip

  • Key: OTS11-20
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3748
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Hewlett-Packard ( Peter Furniss)
  • Summary:

    > One possible use for the implementation data would be to avoid the
    > additional round-trip of register_resource from an interposing
    > sub-coordinator. This involves putting the subordinate reference (as a
    > Resource) in the context on the response. However, that is not enough
    > because the RecoveryCoordinator reference from the superior (usually
    > returned on register_resource) is unique to the Resource. However, if it is
    > possible for the superior to pre-construct a RecoveryCoordinator reference,
    > this can be put in the context on the request. (Obviously, not all
    > implementations will be able to do the pre-construction, but some will, and,
    > when working homogeneously, gain the advantages of interposition without the
    > cost of the extra round trip).
    >
    > The RecovCoordinate reference would only be a "potential" reference,
    > becoming real if and only if the response context included a Resource
    > reference - receipt of that Resource reference requiring an immediate
    > (locally-handled) registration.
    >
    > Two possible changes arise:
    >
    > 1) If this is done, it is vital that an implementation that does not
    > understand this discards the implementation-specific data (contra the
    > resolution of 3593)
    >
    > 2) Alternatively this could be done in a separate, defined service context.
    > The semantics can be tied down precisely and allow avoidance of the
    > round-trip even on interoperation.
