RE: Synchronous Exchanges Proposal

["Saha, Saikat" <saikat.saha@commerceone.com>]

Hello Prasad,

I have few questions regarding the proposal for Synchronous Exchanges.
Could you please clarify?

1. If a Synchronous message is exchanged between a sender and a receiver
with multiple
intermediaries, how would you propose to maintain the connection for all
IntermediateACks,
DeliveryAcks and the actual response message? When we say Synchronous
connection, do we mean
a Synchronous connection between a sender and it's immediate next
Intermediaries or it is the
Synchronous connection between the sender and the ultimate receiver?

2. In section 1.3 bullet number 4, spec. says

· The IntermediateAcknowledgement and the response message (with potentially
embedded DeliveryReceipt) in separate ebXML messages must be returned within
the same communication protocol level response (e.g. as concatenated ebXML
message instances in the body of HTTP response is separate; or as populated
elements of the ebXML Header of the response message). 

Can you please elaborate in multiple hop context?

3. In section 1.4, Proposal, spec says it can be Acksonly, ResponseOnly and
AcksandResponse, can this Acks be Intermediate or
DeleveryReceipt, both types of acks?

Thanks,
Saikat
