ebMS 3.0 Core Specification Section 5.2.2.11 MessageProperty

["Pim van der Eijk" <pvde@sonnenglanz.net>]

Hello,

 

This section of EBMS3CORE states the following about eb:Property:

An eb:Property element is of xs:anySimpleType (e.g. string, URI) and has two attributes:

• @name: The value of this REQUIRED attribute must be agreed upon between partners.

• @type: This OPTIONAL attribute allows for resolution of conflicts between properties with the same name, and may also help with Property grouping, e.g. various elements of an address.

 

Two comments:

 

1)  the type of eb:Property is of type Property, an extension of non-empty-string; the ebMS3 schema does not reference xs:anySimpleType. 

 

2)  the @type attribute is missing from the XML Schema at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-msg/ebms/v3.0/core/ebms-header-3_0-200704.xsd

The type attribute is useful so my preference would be to add it back to the schema.

 

Perhaps we should start a JIRA or spreadsheet for the TC to collect issues to handle in a future errata.
