Re: "Primary Business Document"

[Arvola Chan <arvola@tibco.com>]

One or more business signals, along with a business response can
be carried in the same ebXML message in the synchronous reply
mode. I suspect that each of the above has to be treated as one
attachment to the SOAP message with attachments.

The CPP/CPA has a Packaging element that is supposed to
describe the constituents of a payload and its security packaging.
However, the SimplePart element in the CPP/A currently does not
seem to have any linkage to a BusinessDocument at the BPSS level

I think this is an alignment issue among the MSG, CPP/A, and
eBTWG workgroups.
