Subject: Message and Action Distinction
During the last conference call, we discussed the relationship of the action to message. This was for the interacting with services section. One of the discussions focused on whether the message contains the action or whether the message is like a parameter to the action. One interpretation for message can be that the message is data sent to the service, data the service will unmarshall and act upon. The action itself may or may not require a message/data. Another interpretation for message is that the message itself specifies the action. An action is always conveyed with a message. The first interpretation is a conceptual distinction between action and message. The second interpretation is more literal in nature, to interact with a service requires an electronic transfer. Any form of electronic transfer is a message. Hmmm... Other Thoughts? Danny ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
