Subject: Action item for ReplyTo definition
This mail is my contribution for fixing the definition for ReplyTo element. I also made necessary changes to the ackRequested element to get rid of the words "asynchronous" and "synchronous". -------------------- The current text states: “ *3.2.2. ReplyTo Element* This is a REQUIRED element, used to specify the initial sender’s endpoint to receive an asynchronous Acknowledgment message or Fault Message. The value of this element is REQUIRED to be URL as defined in [RFC 1738]. “ However this does not properly reflect the differences between use of the reply acknowledgment binding pattern and the callback acknowledgement pattern. Lets first modify the definition for the AckRequested element to change the use of the terms synchronous and asynchronous to the new terms “reply acknowledgment pattern” and “callback acknowledgement pattern”. “*3.2.4. AckRequested Element* The AckRequested element is an OPTIONAL element. It is REQUIRED for guaranteeing message delivery and message order. However this element MUST NOT appear in a non-Reliable Message. This element is to be used for a sender to request the receiver to send back an Acknowledgment message for the message sent. The AckRequested element contains the following attribute: - an *ackPattern *attribute *(1) ackPattern attribute* The ackPattern attribute is an OPTIONAL attribute. This attribute is used to specify whether the Acknowledgment Message should be sent back directly in the reply to the reliable message or in a separate callback request. This attribute, when used, MUST have one of the following two values. The default value of this attribute is “Reply”, when omitted. - *Reply *: An Acknowledgment Message MUST be sent back directly in the Reply to the Reliable Message. - *Callback*: An Acknowledgment Message MUST be sent as a callback request, using the address in the ReplyTo element “ With this modification the ReplyTo definition can be modified as follows: “ *3.2.2. ReplyTo Element* This is an OPTIONAL element, used to specify the initial sender’s endpoint to receive a callback Acknowledgment message or Fault Message. A value of this element MUST be present in the request message if the AckRequested element indicates that the Callback Acknowledgement pattern is requested. If present, the ReplyTo element is required to be URL as defined in [RFC 1738]. “ -- ---------------------------------------------------- Tom Rutt email: tom@coastin.com; trutt@fsw.fujitsu.com Tel: +1 732 801 5744 Fax: +1 732 774 5133
