Re: [ws-rx] NEW ISSUE: Is an implementation supporting a smaller maxmessage number valid? [Re: [ws-rx] NEW ISSUE: Max message number in policy]

[Doug Bunting <Doug.Bunting@Sun.COM>]

Taking this in a slightly different direction: I agree max Java long and 
max XML Schema unsigned long are both gigantic values.  If we generally 
agree that max(unsigned long) / 2 is sufficient, another option is to 
make that the documented maximum message number.

This would of course leave destinations able to run out of many types of 
resources and fail in many "mysterious" ways.  A conformant J2ME 
implementation would however be *designed* without a lower limit than 
max(unsigned long) / 2.
