Subject: Re: reliable messaging - hop by hop
Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2001 08:55:43 +0100 From: John Ibbotson <john_ibbotson@uk.ibm.com> 1. Reliable messaging over a single hop ensures that a message (thought of as an opaque buffer) is delivered once and once only from a sender to a receiver. Comments ? This addresses getting messages from one end to the other once-and-only-once. However, Marty has repeatedly insisted that the heart of reliable messaging is that the From Party should be able to know for sure either that the message reached the To Party or that it didn't (won't) reach the To Party. The end-to-end handoff, by itself, doesn't address this. Do you feel that this functionality belongs in the messaging system, or that it should be up at the level of the business processes, along with the digital signature stuff?
