Subject: (ANN) AS4 Profile of ebMS 3.0 Version 1.0 approved and published as a Committee Specification


OASIS Members,
We are pleased to announce the approval and publication of an OASIS
Committee Specification (CS) by the members of the OASIS ebXML
Messaging Services TC:
AS4 Profile of ebMS 3.0 Version 1.0Committee Specification 0213 August 2011
Overview: While ebMS 3.0 represents a leap forward in reducing the
complexity of Web Services B2B messaging, the specification still
contains numerous options and comprehensive alternatives for
addressing a variety of scenarios for exchanging data over a Web
Services platform. The AS4 profile of the ebMS 3.0 specification has
been developed in order to bring continuity to the principles and
simplicity that made AS2 successful, while adding better compliance to
Web Services standards, and features such as message pulling
capability and a built-in Receipt mechanism. Using ebMS 3.0 as a base,
a subset of functionality is defined along with implementation
guidelines adopted based on the “just-enough” design principles and
AS2 functional requirements to trim down ebMS 3.0 into a more
simplified and AS2-like specification for Web Services B2B messaging.
This document defines the AS4 profile as a combination of a
conformance profile that concerns an implementation capability, and of
a usage profile that concerns how to use this implementation. A couple
of variants are defined for the AS4 conformance profile - the AS4
ebHandler profile and the AS4 Light Client profile -  that reflect
different endpoint capabilities.

Members of the OASIS ebXML Messaging Services TC [1] requested a
Special Majority Vote to approve this specification as a Committee
Specification. The specification had been released for public review
as required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve at Committee
Specification (CS) level passed [3], and the approved CS <stage> is
now available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above.
Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone.
