Re: Applying transformations to Payloads

[Martin W Sachs <mwsachs@us.ibm.com>]

Davids,

Currently, the CPP/CPA does not have any facility to describe payload data
other than naming the XML schema or DTD and whatever definitions will be
needed to cover mime and packaging issues (unless Chris slipped something
in when I wasn't looking :-) )

In principle, there is no reason why something that describes payload
transformations could not be added.  We should be a bit careful, however,
because there must be a plethora of possible transformations and we may be
tiptoeing into uncharted territory, which may not be a good thing between
now and May.

Regards,
Marty

Subject:  Applying transformations to Payloads



I've been exchanging emails with David Welsh at Nordstrom about the idea of
compressing data inside the payload of an ebXML message. However before you
could do this, it would be useful if information on the ability to accept
this (or any other) type of transformation in the payload was recorded in
the CPP/CPA.

Is there a facility to support this in the CPP/CPA
