Use of WS-Context

After wrapping up our RM discussions on today’s call, I would like to continue the discussion on the use of WS-Context. Below is an example of what the ebXML MessageHeader may look like encapsulated within context element:

<context xmlns="http://www.webservicestransactions.org/schemas/wsctx/2003/03"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:eb="http://www.ebxml.org/namespaces/messageHeader"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.webservicestransactions.org/schemas/wsctx/2003/03 contextexperiment.xsd" timeout="0">

<eb:MessageHeader soap:mustUnderstand="true" version="3.0">

<eb:From>

<eb:PartyId>mailto:queryresponse@companyb.com</eb:PartyId>

</eb:From>

<eb:To>

<eb:PartyId>mailto:query@companya.com</eb:PartyId>

</eb:To>

<eb:CPAId>123</eb:CPAId>

<eb:ConversationId>20002</eb:ConversationId>

<eb:Service>urn:services:myservice</eb:Service>

<eb:Action>DoMyServiceOperationA</eb:Action>

<eb:MessageData>

<eb:MessageId>996476529250</eb:MessageId>

<eb:Timestamp>2001-07-20T9:31:12Z</eb:Timestamp>

</eb:MessageData>

</eb:MessageHeader>

<context-identifier>http://www.contextuser.com/mycontext/0002</context-identifier>

<context-service reference-scheme="http://www.contextservice.com"/>

<type>http://www.altova.com</type>

<context-manager reference-scheme="http://www.contextmanager.com"/>

<parent-context timeout="0">

<context-identifier>http://www.contextuser.com/mycontext/0001</context-identifier>

<context-service reference-scheme="http://www.contextservice.com"/>

<type>http://www.ebxml.com</type>

<context-manager reference-scheme="http://www.contextmanager.com"/>

</parent-context>

</context>

Some points I would like to discuss are the use of elements such as context-manager and parent-context. Cheers!
