Re: [business-transaction] issue on participant and serviceidentification

Mark, Peter,

In general I think a very simple view could be taken of the relationship between application messages and associated BTP messages.

Abstractly: BTP messages can be associated with application messages. The meaning of any such association is determined by cooperation between the application senders and receivers, and is outwith the scope of the BTP specification.

Binding proforma (rules): a binding may specify how BTP messages are associated to application messages [and it therefore may not]. 

Concrete example: SOAP/HTTP/XML binding states that a <btp:messages> when present in the SOAP header is associated with the content of the SOAP body.

OK, but how does this address this problem of identifying participants at termination time?

 

Mark.
