        cppa3
        =====
        
        A package to process ebCore CPPA3 documents.
        
        Description
        ===========
        
        The CPPA3 package provides a collection of Python modules to process OASIS
        ebCore CPPA3 documents and related functionality.  CPPA3 is version 3 of
        the ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement specification. A CPP is an
        XML document representing a party's technical and business collaboration
        capabilities.  A CPA is an XML document representing the agreed collaboration
        parameters of two parties.  It can be used to configure B2B messaging systems
        used to exchange messages between two parties using the agreed settings.
        The ebCore Technical Committee (ebXML Core) is maintaining and enhancing the CPPA
        specification.
        
        The development of this package tracks the
        development of the ebCore CPPA3 schema and specification. This release of the
        package is compatible with: 
        
         * the latest draft version 2017-11-16, available 
           https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/62723/cppa-v3.0-wd10.odt (specification WD10)
         * the XML schema of 2017-11-16 
           https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=62070 (XML schema draft #22)
        
        Those versions of the specification and schema support:
        
         * the complete ebMS 3.0 Core OASIS Standard (docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-msg/ebms/v3.0/core/os/)
         * the complete AS4 OASIS Standard (http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-msg/ebms/v3.0/profiles/AS4-profile/v1.0/)
         * all of the ebMS 3.0 Part 2 Advanced Features specification (http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-msg/ebms/v3.0/part2/201004/).
         * the ebMS3 SAML Conformance Clause (http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-msg/ebms-v3.0-saml-conformance/v1.0/)
         * the ENTSOG, CEF and SuperAnnuation usage profiles of ebMS3/AS4.
         * ebMS 2.0 (https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#ebxmlmsgv2)
         * SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 messaging
         * WS-ReliableMessaging 1.1, 1.2 (http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-rx/wsrm/v1.2/) and WS-Reliability 1.1 (http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrm/2004/06/ws-reliability-1.1.xsd)
         * the AS1, AS2 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4130) and AS3 IETF EDIINT specifications.
         * AMQP messaging, transport and SASL security
         * and the HTTP 1.1, HTTP/2, FTP, SMTP, SFTP and WebSocket transports.
        
        Currently, eight modules are provided:
        
         * unify.py provides functionality to automatically form a CPA from two CPPs.
         * match.py provides functionality to match a CPA with a CPP it is based on
         * profile.py allows CPPs or CPAs that reference "ChannelProfile" to pull in defaults specified for those profiles
         * pmode.py provides functionality to generate a (set of) P-Modes from a CPA.
         * cppa23 is a new module that converts v2 CPP or CPA documents to the version 3 schema.
         * schema.py has utilities to work with the CPPA3 schema.
         * smp.py provides functionality to map between CPP3 and SMP XML.
         * view.py provides functionality to create a view on a CPP for a particular viewer.
        
        An earlier version of this library include an incomplete 
        experimental module that converts a subset of v3 CPAs to version 2.0 CPA. But ability to upconvert seems to 
        make more sense, so this module is no longer maintained.
        
        As the CPPA3 schema is still under development,  it may change in backward-incompatible
        ways, and this library will be updated accordingly.
        
        unify.py
        ========
        
        This module defines a single function:
        
         * *unify*.
        
        This function operates on two CPP XML documents, parsed into element trees using
        the Python lxml library, and returns a CPA, if one exists.  If no CPA can be created,
        a *UnificationException* is thrown instead.
        
        Internally in the module, the unify function instantiates an object of the CPABuilder
        class, and invokes the unify method of that object with the specified CPP documents.
        CPA formation is similar to unification in logic programming and involves exploring many (successful
        or unsuccessful) paths, possibly repeatedly.  The unify function
        memoizes partial search results, and the class provides data structures to locally
        store those results (which are specific to the two input CPPs and therefore not
        useful in other contexts).  The purpose of memoization is to some extent optimization,
        but also keeps the logging human-readable.
        
        This function could be used by one of the two parties in data exchange,  or a third party
        management service provider, to create a configuration for the exchange that is
        compatible with the profiles of the individual parties.
        
        match.py
        ========
        
        This module defines a single function
        
         *  *match*
        
        This function takes a CPA and a CPP and determines whether the CPA matches the CPP. A CPA
        matches a CPP if it could have been derived from it by unifying it with some other 
        (unspecified) CPP.  This means that one of the two parties in the CPA relates to the 
        party in the CPP.  Also,  all other structures, such as service and action bindings, channels,
        transport etc. all need to be linkable to a structure in the CPP. As in unification, 
        presented party certificates can be checked against specified trust anchor sets.
        
        This function could be used by a party to verify, before accepting it, that a presented CPA
        (possibibly created by a communication partner or by a third party service provider) is
        compatible with its own configuration, whether related to networking, messaging, security,
        business content or process.
         
        
        profile.py
        ==========
        
        This module defines a ChannelProfileHandler class, which has two main methods: 
        
         * *load_profile_config* 
        
        This method loads XML files containing definitions of Channels with a ChannelProfile element. The other content is 
        interpreted as default values for that profile. 
        
         * *apply_profile_config*
        
        This method processes a CPP or CPA file and adds, for each Channel with a configured ChannelProfile, the relevant defaults. 
        The CPP or CPA can override these values. 
        
        cppa23.py
        =========
        
        This module provides a basic automated conversion from CPPA2 to CPPA3.  
        
         * *cpp23*
        
        This function converts an lxml.etree.Element or lxml.etree.ElementTree representing a version 2 *CollaborationProtocolProfile* 
        document to a version 3 *CPP* document.  Since there is no counterparty role information in a version 2 document, the
        counterparty role is set to a default role value.
        
         * *cpa23*
        
        This function converts an lxml.etree.Element or lxml.etree.ElementTree representing a version 2 *CollaborationProtocolAgreement* 
        document to a version 3 *CPA* document.
        
        It supports the full *CollaborationRole* hierarchy, with HTTP and SMTP transport, signing, encryption, reliable messaging, and 
        partial support for packaging.  It supports asynchronous user messages and asynchronous or synchronous signals.  Nested 
        *CanSend* and *CanReceipt* structures are not supported, only flat action bindings.
        
        Version 2 packaging is supported, provided the document references the ebXML header as a *Constituent* in a *Composite* element
        that is the last item in a *CompositeList*.  For the payload parts, *PayloadProfile* elements are generated and 
        *SOAPWithAttachmentsEnvelope* elements that reference the related payload parts.  This function is tested for (minor variants of)
        the samples provided in the CPPA2 standard, and for an anonimized large real-life sample. 
        
        An earlier version of this library included a module that downconverted v3 to v2.  As upconversion makes more
        sense, this module is now deprecated.  It is still included in the library but should not be used as it was incomplete.
        
        pmode.py
        ========
        
        This module defines the following functions:
        
         * *load_pmodes_from_cpa*
         * *validate_pmode*
        
        The *load_pmodes_from_cpa* function operates on
        a CPA document and returns a list of processing modes. Using optional parameters,
        the function can be restricted to processing modes involving a particular
        named or identified party. If *partyname* is specified, it
        will skip any definitions not involving a party with that name.
        If *partyid* is specified, it will skip any definitions not involving a party with that name.
        
        
        The *validate_pmode* function operates on list of processing modes and validates this list
        against a JSON schema for processing modes that is part of the library.
        
        
        smp.py
        ======
        
        This module defines the following function:
        
         * *cpp2smp*
        
        The *cpp2smp* function exports a subset of the content of a CPPA3 CPP document to a list of SMP (Service 
        Metadata Publisher) XML documents (as *lxml.etree* objects), the first of which is an SMP ServiceGroup and 
        the others are SignedServiceMetadata elements.
        
        view.py
        =======
        
        This module defines the function:
        
         * *view_cpp*
        
        The *view_cpp* functions takes as arguments a list of viewer parties and a parsed CPP, where viewer parties
        is a list of Party ID,  Party Type pairs.  It returns a view on that CPP that takes into account the
        allowed and denied authorization attributes and the supplied party identies, or a *ViewException* if at 
        least one of the party identifies is block at CPP top level.  Unreferenced structures are removed from 
        the output. An anonymous view is created by passing an empty viewer list as parameter.
        
        Test Suite
        ==========
        
        Test suites are provided for all modules.  When you run a test suite, you can optionally
        validate the CPP or CPA documents against the draft CPPA3 XML schema. To do this,
        you must download the schema to a readable location on the filesystem, and set the
        *CPPA3XSDDIR* environment variable to this location. If the variable is not set, no validation
        is done.
