Issue 2217:  Not all references to event types have been updated (notif_service-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: Not all references to event types have been updated to refer to
 the correct IDL type names:
 
 struct EventType {
 	string domain_name;
 	string type_name;
 };
 

Resolution: fix see below
Revised Text:  I used "Find" to find all errant occurances of "domain_type" and 

     "event_type". I made appropriate changes in following places: Table 2-2,

     Figure 2-2, 2nd paragraph after Fig 2-2, filtering example in section 2.3,

     2nd to last paragraph in section 2.8, section 3.1.1.1.
Actions taken:
November 17, 1998: received issue
November 16, 1999: closed issue
Discussion: 
Synopsis: An older, pre-adoption revision of the spec defined the fixed header

          of a structured event to contain string type members named 

          "domain_type" and "event_type". Prior to adoption of the spec, this

          was changed to be the following data structure



                struct EventType {

                        string domain_name;

                        string type_name;

                };



          The submitter of this issue pointed out several places in the

          spec where the legacy fixed header member names "domain_type"

          and "event_type" are still used, and recommends they be changed

          to make them consistent with the actual member names.



Disposition: I agree with the issue and the proposed resolution



VOTE: YES means to make the recommended changes; NO means to do nothing

Issue: Not all references to event types have been updated to refer to
the correct IDL type names:

struct EventType {
	string domain_name;
	string type_name;
};

In particular, outdated or incorrect references occur in the following
sections:

2.2 makes serveral references to "domain_type" instead of
    "domain_name", including the Diagram of a Structured Event.

2.3 also refers to "domain_type"

2.6.5 "Special Event Types" refers to event type and domain rather
    than explicitly to EventType.domain_name and
    EventType.type_name. One explict reference here would clarify
    things.

2.8 refers to domain_type rather than domain_name

3.1.1.1 contains a sub-section "domain_type" which is inconsistent
    with the IDL "domain_name".
    
    contains  a sub-section "event_type" which is inconsistent with
    the IDL "type_name".

Many sections: "event type names" is used to mean the struct
    "EventType". In most cases this will not lead to great confusion,
    but substituting the term "event type" for "event type name" would
    be  a good idea in most cases. (Notably these occur in the
    descriptions of the obtain_*_types operations.)
    A.1 "Event Type Meta-Model" also refers to "names of event
    types"...
