RE: Content-ID

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

Michael,

Thanks for the clarification. Advantage of having Content-Id in the envelope
is simplicity
of extracting that information from the envelope against from the
ebXMLHeader's MessageId.

Thanks,
Saikat

    Saikat Saha writes, "As per ebXML TRP 0.92, we do not have any
Content-ID
for the message envelope as such although we have Content-ID for Header
envelope as well as for the Payload envelope." He then asks, "Don't we need
Content-Id for the entire message?"

    It should be satisfactory to identify a message using the MessageID
element located in the EbxmlHeader. That id alone should distinguish one
ebxml
message from the universe of other ebxml messages. If you included
Content-Id
in the Message envelope, you would be identifying a single instance of
multipart/related content. This may have merits on its own account, but
I don't see how it would contribute to the ebxml message protocol.
