Subject: Terminology action item proposal
Jacques and others, I believe that recently adopted text goes a long way toward resolving the terminology discussion ("what is an RMP?"). I propose the following additional changes (based on WD 0.996) to close this issue, and welcome any comments and corrections. 1.1 WS-Reliability is a SOAP Module which fulfills reliable messaging requirements that are critical in some applications of Web Services. SOAP ([SOAP 1.1] and [SOAP 1.2]) over HTTP [RFC2616] is not sufficient when an application-level messaging protocol must also guarantee some level of reliability and security.... [Continue with remaining text as-is.] 1.2 [Change first paragraph to:] Reliable Messaging (RM) is the execution of a transport-agnostic protocol based on SOAP for providing quality of service in the reliable delivery of messages. [Continue with remaining paragraphs.] [Replace these two definitions:] 1.6 Reliable Messaging (RM): The act of processing the set of transport-agnostic SOAP Features defined by WS-Reliability, resulting in a protocol which guarantees certain qualities of service. This includes the processing of Acknowledgment messages, re-sending of messages, duplicate message elimination, and message ordering. Reliable Messaging Processor (RMP): A SOAP Node (as defined by [SOAP 1.2]), or a subset or superset thereof, capable of performing Reliable Messaging as described by this specification. With regard to the transmission of a Reliable Message from one RMP to another, the former will be referred to as the Sending RMP, and the latter as the Receiving RMP. --Pete Pete Wenzel <pete@seebeyond.com> Senior Architect, SeeBeyond Standards & Product Strategy +1-626-471-6311 (US-Pacific)
