35  /**
36   * This portType defines all of the UDDI custody transfer operations. This
37   * section defines the UDDI Custody and Ownership Transfer API Set[28]. Data
38   * custody is introduced in Section 1.5.6 Data Custody. Ownership transfer is
39   * introduced in Section 1.5.7 Transfer of Ownership. By virtue of having
40   * created an entity, a publisher has ownership of the entity and is said to be
41   * the owner of the entity. A custodial node MUST maintain a relationship of
42   * ownership between an entity and its publisher by means of authorization
43   * mechanisms. Every node of a multi-node registry MUST guarantee the integrity
44   * of an entity's custody. As such, a node MUST not permit changes to an entity
45   * unless it has custody of it.
46   *
47   * The Custody and Ownership Transfer API Set enables any nodes of a registry to
48   * cooperatively transfer custody of one or more businessEntity or tModel
49   * structures from one node to another, as well as allowing the transfer of
50   * ownership of these structures from one publisher to another. Associated
51   * entities of a businessEntity such as its businessService, bindingTemplate,
52   * and publisherAssertion structures are transferred as part of the custody
53   * transfer of the business entity. * From a custody transfer point of view, the
54   * publishers are always distinct, though it may be the case that the publishers
55   * are the same person. Also, the two nodes may or may not be distinct;
56   * intra-node transfer between two publishers is simply a degenerate case in
57   * which node custody does not change. Thus, in the case of an inter-node
58   * transfer, ownership transfer is implied. In the case of an intra-node
59   * transfer the behavior results in the transfer of ownership between two
60   * publishers.
61   *
62   * For example, one UDDI registry, UDDI-1, MAY allow each node in UDDI-1
63   * (composed of nodes 1A, 1B and 1C) to define its own policies for
64   * registration, authentication and authorization. In this case, a "person",
65   * (P1) would need to review the policies of all 3 nodes and decide upon the
66   * node with which it chooses to register with. P1 may choose to register with
67   * more than one node. P1 registers with node1A . Node1A also specifies how P1
68   * is authenticated. If P1 successfully authenticates and publishes a business
69   * entity (BE1) then P1 becomes the "owner" of BE1. Node1A is said to be the
70   * "custodian" of BE1. P1 can also register at node1B. If P1 successfully
71   * authenticates and publishes a business entity (BE2) then P1 becomes the
72   * "owner" of BE2. Node1B is said to be the "custodian" of BE2. There is no
73   * assumption that the registry UDDI-1 or its nodes (node1A and node1B) are
74   * aware that P1 is the same "person". P1 is responsible for maintaining the
75   * appropriate identity and authenticating correctly to each node within a
76   * registry.
77   *
78   * Another UDDI registry, UDDI-2, MAY require each of its nodes (node2-1,
79   * node2-2 and node2-3) to use the same registration, authentication and
80   * authorization mechanisms. In this case, the policies are the same across all
81   * nodes. The relationship of registration, publication and ownership remains
82   * the same. If P1 wants to register with different nodes in UDDI-2, then it
83   * needs to differentiate its registration with the different nodes, since an
84   * attempt to register at node2-2 after registering at node2-1, would fail as
85   * "already registered" (since by policy the nodes all share the same
86   * registration, authentication and authorization).
87   *
88   * 5.4.1 Overview There are a number of scenarios where a publisher may choose
89   * to transfer custodianship or ownership of one or more entities. These are
90   * described in this section.
91   *
92   * 5.4.1.1 Intra-Node Ownership Transfer Intra-node ownership transfer involves
93   * transferring entity ownership from one publisher to another within the same
94   * UDDI node. Usage scenarios for this type of transfer include the following:
95   *
96   * · Businesses or organizational merges: Multiple organizations need to be
97   * consolidated under the control of a single publisher.
98   *
99   * · Domain key generators: One use of ownership transfer is the transfer of
100  * ownership of a derived key generator from one publisher to another to enable
101  * her or him to publish entities using keys in that domain.
102  *
103  * The save_xx APIs can also be used to move entities between parent entities
104  * that are owned by the same publisher. The save_service API, for example, can
105  * be used to move services (and binding templates) between one business entity
106  * and another as described in Section 5.2.17.3 Behavior of the save_service
107  * API. Changing the parent relationship in this way causes two businessEntity
108  * structures to be changed. Doing so enables the following scenarios:
109  *
110  * · Divestitures: An organization needs to reassign the control of a set of
111  * services to two or more publishers.
112  *
113  * · Consolidation of registry entities: There are multiple entities for a given
114  * business that are to be consolidated under a single publisher.
115  *
116  * 5.4.1.2 Inter-Node Custody Transfer Inter-node custody transfer involves the
117  * custody transfer of a set of entities across nodes of a UDDI registry. A
118  * transfer of ownership ensues as a consequence of this custody transfer. In
119  * addition to the intra-node scenarios described above, inter-node custody
120  * transfer may be used to address the following use cases:
121  *
122  * · Unsatisfactory service level: The functionality or service level provided
123  * by a given node operator is insufficient, and the publisher wishes to move
124  * their UDDI data to another node.
125  *
126  * · Change in availability for a UDDI node: A node is no longer providing UDDI
127  * services, and all publishers need to be migrated to one or more nodes of the
128  * registry.
129  *
130  * · Organizational Mergers, Divestitures or Consolidations: Changes in
131  * organizational structure may result in the need to make changes to the set of
132  * publishers used to manage the entities at various nodes of a registry.
133  *
134  * For any of these intra and inter-node scenarios, a mechanism is specified to
135  * facilitate the transfer the custody of businessEntity and tModel entities
136  * between nodes whether the entity is being transferred within a single node or
137  * whether a custody transfer occurs between nodes of a registry.
138  *
139  * 5.4.2 Custody Transfer Considerations When a businessEntity is transferred,
140  * all related businessService and bindingTemplate elements are transferred as
141  * well. In addition, any publisherAssertion elements that reference the
142  * businessEntity element’s businessKey that are owned by the publisher are also
143  * transferred.
144  *
145  * Note that the relinquishing publisher is not required to transfer all of its
146  * UDDI entities (i.e. businessEntity and/or tModel entities) in a single
147  * custody transfer request, nor is it required to transfer all of its entities
148  * to the same target publisher or target node. Any combination or subset of
149  * UDDI registry entities may be transferred to any number of target publishers
150  * or nodes.
151  *
152  * 5.4.3 Transfer Execution The Custody and Ownership Transfer API Set enables
153  * two publishers P1 and P2 and two nodes, N1 and N2, in a registry to
154  * cooperatively transfer custody of one or more existing businessEntity or
155  * tModel structures, E1…En, from N1 to N2 and, and by extension to transfer
156  * ownership of the entities from P1 to P2. Related businessService,
157  * bindingTemplate, and publisherAssertion structures are transferred with their
158  * related businessEntities. From the registry’s point of view, the publishers
159  * are always distinct, though it may be the case that P1 and P2 are the same
160  * party. The two nodes may or may not be distinct; intra-node transfer of
161  * ownership from P1 to P2 is simply a degenerate case in which node custody
162  * does not change.
163  *
164  * The Custody and Ownership Transfer API Set is divided into two parts, a set
165  * of two client APIs and a single inter-node API. These client APIs are
166  * get_transferToken and transfer_entities; in short, this constitutes the
167  * Ownership Transfer API portion of this API set. The inter-node-API is
168  * transfer_ custody which when combined with replication makes up the Custody
169  * Transfer API portion of this API set. * The overall flow of custody and
170  * ownership transfer is as follows:
171  *
172  * Publisher P1 invokes get_transferToken on N1, specifying the keys K1…Kn of
173  * the entities E1…En that are to be transferred. If P1 is authorized to do this
174  * (i.e., if P1 has ownership of E1…En), N1 returns a structure T, called a
175  * transfer token, that represents authority to transfer the entities, including
176  * all of the naturally contained children and publisher assertions related to
177  * business entities involved in the transfer that are owned by P1. The
178  * transferToken is a structure that consists of an opaque string that is
179  * meaningful only to the node that issued it, an expiration time, and a node
180  * identifier.
181  *
182  * P1 then gives T to P2 (typically by some secure means since T is valuable).
183  * The publisher obtaining the custody information needs to have previously
184  * obtained a publishers account on the node accepting custody of the entity
185  * before he/she can complete the custody transfer. P2 then invokes
186  * transfer_entities on N2, passing K1…Kn and T. If transfer_entities completes
187  * successfully, the entities E1…En and their related structures
188  * (businessService, bindingTemplate, and publisherAssertion) are in the custody
189  * of N2 and are owned by P2. If the operation fails, nothing happens to the
190  * entities. The actual transfer proceeds as follows, in the processing of
191  * transfer_entities.
192  *
193  * If N1 and N2 are not distinct nodes, the ownership transfer from P1 to P2 is
194  * an operation that is purely internal to the node – how it happens is up to
195  * the implementation. If N1 and N2 are distinct, the following protocol occurs
196  * while processing the transfer_entities request on N2.
197  *
198  * Upon receipt of a transfer_entities request, N2 checks that K1…Kn are valid
199  * keys. There is the possibility that P1 might transfer more data than P2 can
200  * accept due to policy-based restrictions on the limit of entities allowed to
201  * be owned by P2 at N2. As is described below, replication is used to complete
202  * the custody transfer process. A question that arises is at the time of
203  * accepting the datum related to the transfer, could N2 throw a replication
204  * error because the data being transferred exceeds the limits of user P2? Such
205  * limits can not be enforced during replication because they are node-local
206  * policy decisions from the perspective of enforcement. Thus, it is therefore
207  * possible that as a result of a custody transfer a publisher may be caused to
208  * hold more data that he/she would have been able to publish. Should this
209  * situation occur, P2 MUST not be allowed to publish any additional data unless
210  * P2 first reduces the number of entries it owns to an allowable limit.
211  *
212  * If all is well, N2 invokes the inter-node API transfer_custody on N1,
213  * presenting the keys of top-level entities to be transferred, K1…Kn, P2’s
214  * identity (using the publisher’s authorizedName), N2’s node identifier (as
215  * known in the Replication Configuration structure, see Section 7.5.2
216  * Configuration of a UDDI Node – operator element), and T. The transferToken,
217  * T, implies permission to transfer the entire content of the entities it
218  * identifies, including all of the contained entities and related
219  * publisherAssertions, if any. N1 checks to see whether T is a valid
220  * transferToken that it issued and that T represents the authority to transfer
221  * E1…En. If the validation is successful, N1 prevents further changes to
222  * entities E1…En. N1 then updates the authorizedName and nodeID of the
223  * operationalInfo of E1…En and related entities so that they are shown to be in
224  * the custody of N2 and owned by P2. Finally, N1 responds to N2 which triggers
225  * N2 to respond to the transfer_entities caller. This completes the processing
226  * for the transfer_entities request.
227  *
228  * In the case that the datum being transferred is a key generator tModel, N1
229  * will disallow further generation of keys associated with this key partition
230  * at its node.
231  *
232  * Following the issue of the empty message by N1 to the transfer_custody call,
233  * N1 will submit into the replication stream a changeRecordNewData providing in
234  * the operationalInfo, N2’s nodeID identifying it as the node where the datum
235  * is being transferred to, and the authorizedName of P2. The
236  * acknowledgmentRequested attribute of this change record MUST be set to
237  * "true".
238  *
239  * The last modified date timestamp in the operationalInfo must change to
240  * reflect the custody transfer. Figure 2 depicts the flow of a custody transfer
241  * between P1 and P2. This class was generated by the JAX-WS RI. JAX-WS RI
