TPA & ebXML

["Sohaib.J.Kidwai" <sohaibk@ecomxml.com>]

Hello John,

Thanks for this document. Just to add a comment, the negotiation of a
Trading Partner Agreement itself can be done using the ebXML framework. A
tpaML document could be exchanged (possibly several times) between two
trading partners over the ebXML framework until the trading partners have
come to an agreement over its final form. The final tpaML document could
then be used to provide configuration information as you mentioned in your
email, for all future ebXML exchanges. Although this brings us to a chicken
and egg problem of, how the first exchange was possible without a trading
partner agreement!
Just some thoughts.
