RE: [ebxml-msg] Standard API for ebXML Messaging

["Dale Moberg" <dmoberg@cyclonecommerce.com>]

Hi Matt,

I think this is a good project, and it seems to be 
defining the legendary MSI! 

Is this a Messaging subteam effort or a new (short-lived) TC?

In addition to the uses you mention, MSI was to define interfaces for 
message status inquiry and maybe MSH-ping/pong (at least that is what I
recall).

A reoccuring issue for those who are new to ebXML Messaging is the lack 
of a standardized API into the backend of the messaging system.  By 
'backend', I'm referring to the application binding side of the server.

The API that an application such as an EJB or perl module would need to 
use in order to register itself with the messaging service, forward 
outbound messages to the MSH for delivery to, and receive inbound 
messages from the MSH.

We at Yellow Dragon have created our own proprietary API for integrating

MSH services into business logic, and I am sure all of the other vendors

(there are at least 12 of you) have done the same. 

Is there any interest among vendors and other parties to start work on a

standardized API?
