issue from 20 July con-call

[Christopher Ferris <chris.ferris@east.sun.com>]

Regarding the following issue raised in the con-call:

Issue: Can we architect TRP so that if/when SOAP is approved 
as a standard, we can just drop it in and use?

This all depends upon whether you consider SOAP as a
packaging solution or as a message (payload). A SOAP
message as payload is currently supported in the TR&P
architecture.

e.g.

Content-Type: multipart/related; type=application/vnd.ebxml; version=0.1;
boundary=---------------------------7d02a82e5f8
Content-Length: nnnn

-----------------------------7d02a82e5f8
Content-ID: UUID
Content-Length: nnnn
Content-Type: application/vnd.ebxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ebXMLHeader xmlns="http://www.ebxml.org/ebXMLStds/MessageHeader"
	MessageType="Normal"
	Version="1.0">
	<Manifest>
		<DocumentReference>
			<DocumentLabel>SOAP THINGY</DocumentLabel>
			<DocumentId>cid:UUID-2</DocumentId>
		</DocumentReference>
	</Manifest>
... <!-- yadda yadda yadda -->
</ebXMLHeader>
-----------------------------7d02a82e5f8
Content-ID: UUID-2
Content-Length: nnnn
Content-Type: text/xml

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
                xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
	<SOAP-ENV:Body>
		<m:GetLastTradePriceResponse xmlns:m="Some-URI">
                         <Price>34.5</Price>
		</m:GetLastTradePriceResponse>
	</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
-----------------------------7d02a82e5f8

If, on the other hand, you consider SOAP as the packaging
solution, the answer is no for the very same reasons that
BizTalk has chosen to use MIME packaging and more as outlined
in the TR&P Message Envelope Specification.

Cheers,

Chris
