-====LUA elements==== +====Reply problems==== 
-  LUADataValidator +The outline of the problem is, "when is it possible to return status information to the client, and when is it actually needed?". 
-  LUADataParser +  * If the transaction contains a single data entry, the server should respond with the status of the insertion of that entry. 
-  +  * If the transaction contains several data entries, the server should respond with the status of the insertions of these entries. 
 +    * We need a way to map a status message to an entry. 
 +    * We need a status message system that can contain several status messages. 
 +  * If the transaction contains both data entry (or entries) and query (or queries), the server should respond with the status of the insertions as well as the answer to and status of query (queries). 
 +Should (can) the status message be treated as just another query?\\ 
 +\\ 
 +===Proposition=== 
 +Data and Query cannot be located in the same transaction. 
 +Query works as it does now (it reply's with the result of the query in the requested reply-language).\\ 
 +Data returns a (using the same result structure as the queries) series of status messages, each mapping to a Data section by number starting from 0.\\ 
 +Therefore the order in which the Data segments are handled matter!\\ 
 +The reply language of the Data transaction will be the XML language. This might be user defined at some later point. 
 +The Queries can be extended to also include a status message list in the reply.
