Title: Submission of WS-RM, WS-RMP and WS-MC specifications for OASIS standardization

FYI - we have now submitted our specification set for the OASIS standardization vote. Procedurally, the submission package must be received by 15th of a month in order for the OASIS staff to create a ballot for the OASIS standardization in the following month.

Assuming there are no irresolvable issues with our submission package, we can expect to see a ballot for OASIS standardization opened on May 15th (to be closed by May 31st).

Congratulations to the TC for coming this far. I am highly hopeful that we will make through the last leg smoothly.

-- Sanjay

Hi Mary,

Now that the WS-RX TC has approved the WS-RM, WS-RMP and WS-MC specification set (by a special majority vote) as Committee Specification and ready for submission to OASIS membership for a standardization vote, I am hereby submitting the package containing the relevant documents and other information.

Please acknowledge this submission and also feel free to let me know if anything is missing or if you need any further information, etc.

Regards,
Sanjay

PS: Please note that the links to documents in the package below will be active only after expanding the attached archive in the OASIS document repository. Please also copy the specification documents from their "This Version" locations to their "Latest Version" locations.

The Web Services Reliable Exchange (WS-RX) TC has submitted the
following specification set:

(a) Links to the approved Committee Specification in the TC's document
repository, and any appropriate supplemental documentation for the
specification, both of which must be written using the OASIS templates.
The specification may not have been changed between its approval as a
Committee Specification and its submission to OASIS for consideration as
an OASIS Standard, except for the changes on the title page and running
footer noting the approval status and date.

Specification;

(c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances included
in the specification, whether by inclusion or reference, including
fragments of such, are well formed, and that all expressions are valid;

All schema and XML instances included in the specification are well
formed and all expressions are valid.

(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification;

The WS-ReliableMessaging 1.1 specification consists of multiple parts.

The core WS-ReliableMessaging 1.1 document defines a protocol for
reliable message exchange between two Web services, even in the presence
of network or system failures. For example, the protocol can ensure the
resending of messages that have been lost, and can ensure that duplicate
messages are not delivered. The protocol allows Web service nodes to
implement a variety of delivery assurances, including At Most Once, At
Least Once, Exactly Once and In Order delivery of messages. The protocol
fundamentally defines a one-way reliable channel (known as a Sequence),
but also includes mechanisms to optimize the creation of two-way
reliable exchanges. The protocol is designed to compose with other
relevant standards such as WS-Security and WS-SecureConversation. The
protocol allows developers to add reliable delivery of messages to their
applications on a variety of platforms, including Java and .NET.

The WS-ReliableMessaging Policy 1.1 document defines an XML policy
language that enables Web services to advertise their support for the
WS-ReliableMessaging specification. The specification is designed for
use with the WS-Policy Framework. The language aids the interoperability
of nodes that support WS-ReliableMessaging by publishing their support
and requirements for aspects of reliable messaging. For example, an
endpoint may use this specification to indicate that it requires that
the reliable message protocol to be secured using transport level
security. WS-ReliableMessaging Policy is designed to be used with other
policy languages, such as WS-Security Policy, in the scope of the
WS-Policy Framework.

The WS-MakeConnection 1.0 document defines a protocol that can be
used to allow two-way communications when only a transport specific
back-channel (such as the HTTP response mechanism) is available. For
example, this allows a client to establish a two-way reliable
message exchange even in the presence of firewalls and network address
translation, that otherwise would prevent the server from initiating
connections to the client.

(e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to
similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations;

-- The OASIS WS-Reliable Messaging (WSRM) TC also defines a reliable
messaging specification for Web services. The WS-RX TC and
WS-ReliableMessaging specification focuses on creating a specification
that works in conjunction with and composes with other specifications,
in particular the WS-Addressing, WS-Security and WS-SecureConversation,
and WS-Policy Framework specifications.

(f) Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that they
are successfully using the specification;
