Notes

The Problem

The interface to DOMS is exclusively through SOAP-based webservices. These webservices must have a uniform and documented interface, that is not dependent on any particular client lanquage. For that purpose we have decided to use WSDL.

For all the webservices in DOMS, we must write a wsdl, which should be used to generate the rest of the service from. Change testbed to give copies of these WSDLs rather than genrating new ones.

For the already completed services, we could autogenerate one from the java interfaces, but it must subsequently be reformatted and documented. This is a general note, the wsdls must use documentation tags whenever they are appropriate. They are the interface to the outside, and must contain explicit documentation.

All wsdls must use the binding style "document" and the "literal" use. If possible, use the wrapped style, but this does not allow for overloaded operations. Avoid passing complex objects as input, but complex objects will be passed as output. Document these objects extensively.

Progress

The webservices in question:

Conclusion

Checklist For Working On An Action

The Life Cycle of an Action:

Assign people for action definition: Done at start of iteration status meeting. Fill out Assigned
Define the action: Describe information about what is to be done and how. Fill out Tasks Addressed and Time Estimated.
Review the definition: Get another project group member to review the action definition, and update it.
Assign people for action implementation: Done by project manager, usually the same persons who wrote the definition. Fill out Assigned and Prev assigned if new persons are assigned.
Implement the action: See details below
Review the action: Get another project group member to review what is implemented (code and documentation), and update it.
Finish the action: Change the status to "Finished" and update the "time used" field on the action page.

Please make sure that you address the below issues, when working on an action:

Update the state of the action to "In Progress" when you start working on it.
Check if the tasks addressed by this action have their status set to "In Progress". If that is not the case, then change the state of them.
Keep track of how much time that has been spent working on the action. If it addresses more than one task, then make a note on the action page about how much of the elapsed time that has been spent on the individual tasks. Hint: Continually updating the "Time used" field will make it easier for you.
Update the "Progress History" and documentation pages of each task addressed by this action when appropriate. This depends on the situation, but in general, the task pages should hold all important related information about the work done, experiences gathered, identified requirements and so on.
