Re: T2 SyncReply and ReliableMessagingMethod in QualityOfServiceInfo

[SHIMAMURA Masayoshi <shima.masa@jp.fujitsu.com>]

Chris, 

Thank you for showing intention of the deliveryReceipt. I have one
question.

In the Message Service spec V1.0, "10.3.3 Generating an Acknowledgement
Message" on page 46 says:

    Depending on the value of the syncReply parameter, the
    Acknowledgement Message can also be sent at the same time as the
    response to the received message. ...

It means that if syncReply is set to False, the Reliable Acknowledgement
Message can not carry business level response. If so, at same time, the
Reliable Acknowledgement Message can not carry deliveryReceipt element
when syncReply is set to False. Because deliveryReceipt element is
always carried together business level response.

If the understanding above is correct, following description in the
specification is wrong:

  8.15 Combining ebXML SOAP Extension Elements
     ...
  8.15.8 Delivery Receipt element
     A DeliveryReceipt element may be present on any message.
                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, when syncReply is set to False, DeliveryReceipt element can
not be present on Reliable Acknowledgement Message.

Is that correct?

I'd like to propose that we change the term "(1) acknowledgement message"
into "(1) business level response". It seems to me that this is source
of the confusing about DeliveryReceipt.
