RE: [ebxml-msg] Restructuring

["Pim van der Eijk" <pvde@sonnenglanz.net>]

Pulling is based on MPCs, not on particular party
identifiers.  To prevent one business from accidentally
pulling a message for some other partner, the messages
should be assigned to different MPCs, with each party only
authorized for its own channel.  The part 2 spec, section
2.5.4 has a concept called sub-channels that is intended to
make this a bit more flexible, but it is not part of AS4.

We have identified a problem with pull on AS4 which I
believe needs discussion. I planned drafting an email on
that after the webinar. Not sure if that should hold up the
restructuring exercise but I do think that it wise to
resolve this prior to final upload of AS4.

The main problem is identifying the partners and p-modes for
a pull request. This due to the authorization/authentication
not explicit within the signal itself. It is possible to
determine these from non-normative third party libraries for
usernameTokens in WSL or SSL but do not think that is the
way to go.

that with URI rewrites and symlinks.  The namespace name
(http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-msg/ns/ebms/v3.0/profiles/
200707 ) will be unaffected because we use URI rewrites, and
it does not matter where the namespace document lives.
