Issue 2212: Footnote on page 34 (notif_service-rtf) Source: (, ) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Summary: 2) I note that a footnote on page 34 of the spec says that the term "name-value pair" is not meant to denote CORBA::NVList, but it doesn"t actually say what it does mean. This should be fixed too (before table 2.2 where it"s used first). Resolution: Added text to footnote on page 34 Revised Text: Actions taken: November 16, 1998: received issue November 16, 1999: closed issue Discussion: Synopsis: This issue is related to issue 2211. There is currently a footnote on the bottom of page 34 which states that the term "name-value pair", as used thoroughout Notification, should not be construed to mean CORBA::NVList. However, the footnote does not clearly state what "name-value pair" does mean. The proposed resolution is to add text to the footnote to clarify that "name-value pair" means CosNotification::PropertySeq Disposition: I agree with the issue and the proposed resolution. VOTE: YES means to add the recommended text to the footnote; NO means to do nothing End of Annotations:===== Return-Path: To: issues@omg.org Cc: notif_service-rtf@omg.org, Mark Spruiell Errors-to: devnull@dstc.edu.au Reply-to: notif_service-rtf@omg.org Subject: 3 more Notification constraint language issues X-face: *A\_v+D,~Jx_g]`m,s61-x|*;H4hgZeE= Hi all, Here are 3 more Notification Service issues that Mark Spruiell from OOC and I have dug up. 2) I note that a footnote on page 34 of the spec says that the term "name-value pair" is not meant to denote CORBA::NVList, but it doesn't actually say what it does mean. This should be fixed too (before table 2.2 where it's used first). Suggested resolution: As above - the footnote should state that the term "name-value pair" refers to CosNotification::PropertySeq.
