Hi all,
The request schema can be found relaxing here:
http://www/~pdm/nmwg/
I've tried to make it as similar to the newest report schema as I can, and
it does look quite similar.
The most notable changes in the request schema are:
* time information has been moved within the methodology, a la response
schema;
* tool information is also in the methodology... I'm not sure if it's
entirely sensible there, though - you can only specify one tool to use
if you want to specify a tool, and there isn't yet a way of marking it
optional/required etc; also the command lines are specified here;
* the parameters now have the same names as in the response schema with
the extra "required", "range" and "report" attributes;
* an allowNewMeasurements attribute and the maxResults attribute have been
added to the "Request" element.
No examples yet, and no XMLSpy "documentation", because XMLSpy crashes
when I try to load Trang-generated XSDs. Did yours work straight off, Dan?
Both schemas need support for nodes that have only a name and no IP (I
think). Otherwise, nm_subject are all but identical (the request schema
has a lot taken out, you might notice)
Both nm_tools are very close, except for the added command-line options.
Possibly boolean required and report attributes need to be added, however.
nm_timeinfo (represents a time period) and nm_statistics (represents
requests for particular statistics) are unique to the request schema, and
nm_time and nm_values are unique to the report schema.
I think the next step is to try to use the same nm_parameters files...
