WS-DAI Interop Plans

Implementations

Current proposal is to attempt to do an interop fest for the WS-DAI implementations (part of a realisation). Groups that could participate in this effort are:

• OGSA-DAI
• AMGA
• gCube(?)
• AIST (is the implementation OGSA-DAI-RDF)
• Others?

Prerequisites

Need to decide on:

• port type binding to SOAP 1.1
• binding document/literal or rpc/literal

Aim:

• Achieve client interoperability

Process (from GFD.77):

1. Define scenario to be used for interoperability testing, include populated databases; the structure and contents of the database affect test results.
2. Develop a sequence of operations and property queries that test implementations of the specifications under that scenario.
3. For each request/response in this sequence, define the correct inputs and outputs.
4. Execute the sequence of requests, checking the response received in each case.
5. Document the tests and the results of the tests in an Experimental document, as required in GFD.1.

Sample inter-op docs

• DAIX-Interop-SL.doc (23/06/06) - report on inter-op tests for OGSA-DAI 2.2 / WS-DAIX implementation by Steve. Conforms to tests defined in GFD.77.pdf (05/09/06).
• OGSA-DAI-WS-DAIX-Inter-op-Report.doc (13/05/08) - report on OGSA-DAI 3.0 / WS-DAIX's inter-op tests for WS-DAIX by Elias and Mike. This uses the tests in Steve's doc but defines additional ones.

Sample inter-op test suite

• Example of OGSA-DAI WS-DAIX inter-op test suite that runs the tests outlined in the above doc.
  • http://www.ogsadai.org.uk/downloads/ogsadaiwsdaix1.1/ogsadai-wsdaix-interop-tests.zip
    • See the README.txt file for information on what is required to compile and run the tests.
  • Download size 55325 bytes, MD5 checksum fdac970d1a316e0270d151c388efa502
  • You need to have registered with the OGSA-DAI WWW site to download. Alternatively, ask MikeJ or Mario.
