Hello, On a related note, in a customer environment, FTP is the de facto app-to-app data exchange protocol. It is used in several large scale production systems, is supported by the network management organization, allowed through gateways/firewalls etc. To introduce a technology like ebXML Messaging here, the ability to leverage this infrastructure would be an advantage. I noted that whereas the CPPA specification (section 8.4.38) seems to treat FTP as a supported protocol on a same level as HTTP and SMTP and has several useful guidelines, the ebXML Messaging specification (appendix B) only discusses bindings to HTTP and SMTP. I am interested in learning about any issues with FTP one should be aware of, in particular interoperability issues. Also, I would appreciate (anonymized) pointers to deployed ebMS solutions that use ebMS over FTP. Kind regards, Pim van der Eijk -----Original Message----- From: Matthew MacKenzie [mailto:matt@mac-kenzie.net] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 1:16 PM To: Bryan Rasmussen Cc: ebxml-dev@lists.ebxml.org Subject: Re: message service agnosticism and http bindings Bryan, My experience is that HTTP is definitely the leader in usage, but SMTP is also used fairly often. Other protocols are on the fringes, mostly because we don't define how to bind them in the specification.
