<<cc list truncated>> - can we move this to one list only??? I changed to thread name - eventually all the kids searching for "Paris Hilton' and any undergarments thereof may find this thread and wonder what the world has come to. ;-) In response to the question about 'Web Services for Procurement', the basic infrastructure will likely remain the same for procurement (SOAP, Security, WSDL) but there is no specific dependency on any underlying technology. The language used as the payload is what will undoubtedly be the main differentiator for procurement specific web services. A modern language like UBL is ideal for facilitating such however, it is not a pre-requisite to even use XML. You could use an older language like EDIFACT or ANSI X12 EDI formats in CDATA sections as your parameters. The use of security, non repudiation, authentication, persistent messages storage and other functionality will be specific to the procurement scenario you would use. Ideally, the ebXML v 2.0 messaging could be used for handling most of this functionality although there are ways to do this using SOAP as well.
