RE: [ebxml-msg] Minor Modification

[Hamid Ben Malek <HMalek@us.fujitsu.com>]

Hi Pete and all,

In a past conf call we have agreed the following about the eb:Partref element:

·         eb:id attribute will be removed

·         eb:idref is kept and it can reference either an attachment via cid:blabla or an XML fragment via #if-of-fragment)

 

The minor modification I propose here is to replace the attribute eb:idref by the SOAP attribute href. The SOAP attribute href plays the same role (it can reference an attachment via a value like cid:blabla or an XML fragment). See SOAP 1.1 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383512). The following is a paragraph from SOAP 1.1 spec (section 3):

 

=========================== Quote ==================================

            SOAP uses the local, unqualified "id" attribute of type "ID" to specify the unique identifier of an encoded element. SOAP uses the local, unqualified attribute "href" of type "uri-reference" to specify a reference to that value, in a manner conforming to the XML Specification [7], XML Schema Specification [11], and XML Linking Language Specification [9].

=========================== End of Quote ==================================

 

Also, SOAP 1.1 with Attachment (http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-attachments) is using the attribute href in the same manner (see section 3, and listings).

 

Hamid.
