Re: [ebxml-dev] ebXML Message Polling Mechanism

[gummi@dimonsoftware.com]

ebXML messaging does not explicitly support
pull, but it all boils down to the business process
you define, so if the business process involves
a "pull-request" message and then a "pull-response"
message which is returned synchronously, the
net effect is exactly what you're looking for, as
long as the pull-requests are made periodically.
(I'm assuming you're using HTTP or some other
synchronous protocol, this is not possible with
strictly asycnhronous protocols)

Does anyone know if ebXML supports a pull mechanism in terms of polling 
for messages rather than pushing messages to their intended recipients? 
We are a 3rd party and are faced with the task of having to deliver 
messages to customers who have security concerns and do not want to allow 
direct push of messages through their firewall.

Thanks,
Steve
