Subject: Conformance Profile Standardization for Deployment environments with ebMS intermediaries


My action item from this week’s ebMS teleconference was to summarize the approach I advocated concerning intermediaries and our existing conformance profiles

 

First, it is my understanding that these existing conformance profiles remain committee drafts. I advocated moving them fairly rapidly to committee specifications and obtaining public reviews.

 

To accomplish this, we need to make a few edits to the existing profiles (other than the ebMS MSH intermediary profile)

 

So, second, each profile needs to supplemented by a section that explains the requirements for functioning in an environment including ebMS v 3 intermediaries.

 

The essential point is that support for WS-Addressing reference parameters as containers for ebMS 3 metadata is required for all conformance profiles.

 

Third, the format of this metadata should be made explicit in the Intermediaries conformance profile.

 

Fourth, in each profile, it should be noted which messages will not need supplementary information (the user messages) and which ones will need this supplementary information if connecting to an ebMS v 3 intermediary. (For example, profiles depending upon WS-ReliableMessaging setup messages will need WS-Addressing containers for the metadata, but profiles using WS-Reliability do not have those requirements.)

 

The previous steps should allow us to meet our goal of allowing “vanilla” conformance profiles to operate without change with deployments involving intermediaries.
