Although this may be archaic, I would prefer the operations conceptual discussion be in English rather than jumping to WSDL right away. For example, I see 18 messages listed, but it is not clear to me what they do...to say the least. I do  not recognize many of the operations that were identified in the Scope&Start document I sent out in February: the idea of compound operations (get, compare, report);  of scheduling operations (now, then, periodic); the query for instructions, etc. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hopefully, we will get beyond the other things on the agenda to start discussion of the operations.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bill Wagner</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(the messages listed are)</DIV> <DIV><message name="GetAttributesResponse"/> <message name="GetAttributesRequest"/> <message name="SetAttributesRequest"/> <message name="SetAttributesResponse"/> <message name="GetAttributesAsyncRequest"/> <message name="GetAttributesAsyncResponse"/> <message name="SetAttributesAsyncRequest"/> <message name="ExecuteRequest"/> <message name="ExecuteResponse"/> <message name="ExecuteAsyncRequest"/> <message name="ExecuteAsyncResponse"/> <message name="GetAllRequest"/> <message name="GetAllResponse"/> <message name="RegisterRequest"/> <message name="RegisterResponse"/> <message name="SetAttributesAsyncResponse"/> <message name="UnRegisterRequest"/> <message name="UnRegisterResponse"/></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message----- From: Harry Lewis [mailto:harryl@us.ibm.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 1:18 AM To: wbmm@pwg.org Subject: WBMM> PWGDeviceControl Interface WSDL (Proposal) </DIV> Posted<A href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wbmm/WDSL/"></A> is a WSDL representation of a proposed WBMM Interface, Service and (SOAP) Binding we hope will help merge WBMM process with the successful approach taken by PSI. The interface is simple... containing both synchronous (wait for return) and asynchronous (supply URI for a "listener" for the asych response) versions of GetAttributes SetAttributes ExecuteCommand GetAll It also supplies mechanisms for   Register Unregister for notifications. These can be displaced if we engage a more global notifications PWG working group. Examples of Execute commands would be Reset, OpPanelMessage, Off-line, LockOpPanel, DownloadCode <A href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wbmm/WDSL/PWGDeviceControlInterface.wsdl">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wbmm/WDSL/PWGDeviceControlInterface.wsdl</A> <A href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wbmm/WDSL/PWGDeviceControlService.wsdl">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wbmm/WDSL/PWGDeviceControlService.wsdl</A> <A href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wbmm/WDSL/PWGDeviceControlBinding.wsdl">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wbmm/WDSL/PWGDeviceControlBinding.wsdl</A> The WSDL was built using IBM's WebSphere Applications Development environment and I haven't had an opportunity to check using XMLSPY... so there could be some incompatibility. I hope this will be viewed as a good basis for interface discussion just as Ira's work on translating the Printer MIB has been for data model and Bill/Cathy/Kelli's work is for requirements.   <TABLE width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR vAlign=top> <TD colSpan=3> Perhaps we can spend some time on the agenda tomorrow if there are any comments or questions on the WSDL. </TR></TBODY></TABLE> ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis Chairman - IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group http://www.pwg.org IBM Printing Systems http://www.ibm.com/printers 303-924-5337 ---------------------------------------------- </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
