RE: [uddi-spec] Basic Profile Version 1.0 - Working Group Draft

Bob,

I do not see how there is any impact on UDDI testing.  All SOAP
processors must support UTF-16 by implication that all XML processors
are required to support UTF-16 and SOAP is an XML protocol.  By
interoperability testing your SOAP processors you are testing that all
Web services and clients using them are interoperable.

There can only be an interoperability testing issue if some UDDI
registry implementation provides its own SOAP processor.  I am not aware
of any such implementations and find them to be somewhat unlikely.

Anne Thomas Manes confirmed during the teleconference that this was a
non-issue for Systinet, which has both a UDDI registry product and a
SOAP implementation.  I am sure that if you research other existing
implementations you will find that it is similarly a non-issue for them,
since encoding support is delegated down to the XML processor and each
compliant XML processor is required to support both UTF-8 and UTF-16.

Regards,
Daniel
