exhibits Implied_resource_pattern.
Explanation, Stateless Web services implementations are usually stateless--the lifetime of a dynamic state does not exceed the processing of an individual message. Web service interfaces, on the other hand, often imply some form of stateful interaction with the clients of the service, source : David Snelling of Fujitsu, convener and proposed co-chair of the OASIS WSRF Technical Committee
Explanation, WSRF WSRF (Web Services Resource Framework) re-articulates the underlying OGSI architecture to make an explicit distinction between the [ service ] and the stateful entities acted upon by that service. WSRF calls these entities [ resources, ] and says that a service that acts upon resources through a conventional use of WS-Addressing exhibits the [ implied resource pattern ]
