Subject: Re: COMMENTS/CORRECTIONS to V0.98


We did discuss this but, I think it would ease a great deal of implementation
complexity / processing logic needed to recognize an incoming message to be an ebXML
message (so that it can be routed appropriately), if we have some sort of flag at the
transport headers level. SOAPAction seems to be a good one to use instead of inventing
another header.

Either way, we need to make the examples and the description of the SOAPAction
consistent with one another. Right now they are not.

Regards, Prasad

|Actually, there are two issues here. One is, that I had thought
|that we agreed that there would NOT be a SOAPAction defined for
|ebXML. Secondly, the value of SOAPAction is supposed to be an URI
|as defined in RFC 2396. ebXML is NOT an URI by any stretch of one's
|imagination whether encapsulated in quotes or otherwise.
|
|SOAPAction is mandatory, but a null or empty value
|is also valid. IMHO, SOAPAction should be allowed to
|be determined by the owner of the deployed service.
|
|I would prefer:
|
|       The mandatory SOAPAction HTTP header field must be included
|       in the HTTP header. The value of the SOAPAction header is
|       unspecified by this specification.
|
|Cheers,
