Description:
Currently we use wsa:ReplyTo for one-way messages in a way which although legal
in terms of the latest CR draft of WS-Addressing, has led to confusion on a
number of occasions. As an example, one use of wsa:ReplyTo is on
Prepare->Prepared, where Prepare has a wsa:ReplyTo but the Prepared message
is a separate (not response) message, because it could be sent autonomously and
not actually in response to Prepare. The issue is that as far as WS-Addressing
is concerned, wsa:ReplyTo should really only be used in the case of the
request-response MEP, which is clearly not the case here.
Proposed Resolution:
The rules for where and when wsa:ReplyTo should be included and used within
WS-AT are well defined, and particularly in respect to the interoperability
scenarios. I propose that we replace wsa:ReplyTo with something specific to
WS-TX (perhaps wsc:ReplyTo, wsc:OnewayTo, or somesuch).
Addendum:
Max suggested at the Raleigh
f2f another potential resolution: that we use wsa:From.
