Gordon Sim commented on PROTON-2108:
------------------------------------
I don't think 'The values in this field are the symbolic descriptors of the
outcomes that can be chosen on this link.' implies 'No outcomes set, means no
outcomes are specified as choosable on this link.'. If the peer hasn't told
them which outcomes are acceptable that does not mean that none are, it just
means the peer did not provide that information.
To me a reasonable assumption is that if the peer hasn't limited the set of
valid outcomes (and I can't come up with any good *practical* reason why it
would), any of the outcomes are valid. That appears to be how most
implementations treat things, since this issue has not caused any problem I
have seen in the many, many years since the spec was published.
However, if what you are proposing is just hardcoding proton to always send the
full set of outcomes, then while I think it is redundant and adds noise and
bloat to an already bloated protocol, I would not object (I would just shudder
slightly and force myself not to think about it!) and would presumably be
simple.
(The spec also says 'At the target, the accepted outcome is used to indicate
that an incoming message has been successfully processed', which I think is
also intuitively what almost everyone would assume. Having only accepted as
valid would imply every message was successfully processed which seems very
wrong.)

> Key: PROTON-2108
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2108
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: proton-c-0.29.0
> Reporter: Robbie Gemmell
> Priority: Critical
>
> From looking at some recent traces, it appears that the bindings (at least
> for python, but probably others) do no set the outcomes (or default-outcome)
> field on its source terminus, although they do use/support all the outcomes.
> To a peer that actually inspects the outcomes to influence behaviour this
> strictly means only Accepted is supported, which can lead to issues (e.g it
> might accept a message then drop it, rather than release/modify/reject it,
> under cases it couldn't be processed).
