[ebxml-cppa] Re: [ebxml-msg] Can an MSH send a sync ack and then anasync response?

[Arvola Chan <arvola@tibco.com>]

Sanjay:

The next version of the CPP/A spec (don't yet know whether it is going to be
called 1.1 or 2.0, but due end of 2/2002) that the ebxml-cppa TC is working
on will have an additional synchronous reply mode defined, "mshSignalsOnly".
In that mode, the receiver is expected to return the Acknowledgment
synchronously, and then any business level signal or response
asynchronously.
