Subject: WS-Reliability specification submitted for OASIS Standard
OASIS members: The OASIS Web Services Reliable Messaging (WSRM) TC has submitted the WS-Reliability v1.1 specification, which is an approved Committee Draft, for review and consideration for approval by OASIS members to become an OASIS Standard. The TC's submission is attached below. In accordance with the OASIS Technical Committee Process, the specification has already gone through a 30 day public review period. OASIS members now have until the 15th of the month to familiarize themselves with the submission. OASIS members should give their input on this question to the voting representative of their organization. By the 16th of the month I will send out a Call For Vote to the voting representatives of the OASIS member organizations, who will have until the end of the month to cast their ballots on whether this Committee Draft should be approved as an OASIS Standard. The normative TC Process for approval of Committee Drafts as OASIS Standards is found at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#standard Any statements related to the IPR of this specification are posted at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wsrm/ipr.php -Karl ================================================================= Karl F. Best Vice President, OASIS office +1 978.667.5115 x206 mobile +1 978.761.1648 karl.best@oasis-open.org http://www.oasis-open.org 1. A formal specification that is a valid member of its type, together with appropriate documentation for the specification, both of which must be written using approved OASIS templates; The zip file at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/9330/WS-Reliability-CD1.086.zip contains the following five files: WS-Reliability-CD1.086.pdf WS-Reliability version 1.1, CD 1.086 ws-reliability-1.1.xsd Ws-Reliability schema reference-1.1.xsd Reference type schema fnp-1.1.xsd Features and Properties schema wsrmfp-1.1.xsd wsrm features and properties schema 2. A clear English-language summary of the specification; The WS-Reliabilty specification, version 1.1, specifies a transport-independent, SOAP based protocol for the reliable delivery of messages. Reliable message delivery may be critical to some applications using Web Services. SOAP over HTTP [RFC2616] is not sufficient when an application-level messaging protocol must also guarantee some level of reliability and security. This specification defines reliability in the context of current Web Services standards. The WS Reliability specification provides the following reliability features: - Guaranteed message delivery, or At-Least-Once delivery semantics. - Guaranteed message duplicate elimination, or "At-Most-Once" delivery semantics. - Guaranteed message delivery and duplicate elimination, or "Exactly-Once" delivery semantics. - Guaranteed message ordering for delivery within a group of (sequential) messages. The WS-Reliabilty specification uses SOAP 1.1 or 1.2 Part 1. It may be used with other transport protocols/bindings besides HTTP. 3. A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations; This specification has been designed to be used in combination with other complementary protocols, and has built upon previous experiences from the ebXML Message Service [ebMS].) Both WS-Reliability and ebMS have same messaging reliability contracts as objectives: guaranteed delivery, no duplicate delivery, ordered delivery, and combinations of these. However, WS-Reliability has improved on scalability and performance by generalizing the use of sequence numbers, and can accommodate different security and access conditions on each party, as this is more frequently the case with a Web service and its clients, compared to more symmetrical access conditions in messaging. The reliability contract is more "application-oriented" in WS-R, where acknowledgment is on final delivery, in contrast to "on receipt" by the message handler in ebMS. 4. Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that they are successfully using the specification consistently with the OASIS IPR Policy; The chair has received statements from the following TC member organizations.

An account of or pointer to votes and comments received in any earlier attempts to standardize substantially the same specification, together with the originating TC's response to each comment; This specification has not been previously submitted to OASIS. 8.

A statement from the chair of the TC certifying that all members of the TC have been provided with a copy of the OASIS IPR Policy; The TC chair certifies that all members have been reminded to read the IPR statement on numerous occasions and also in an e-mail “Call for IPR disclosure regarding ws-Reliability spec” at: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/wsrm/200405/msg00022.html 10. Optionally, a pointer to any minority reports submitted by one or more TC members who did not vote in favor of approving the Committee Draft, or certification by the chair that no minority reports exist. No minority reports have been submitted to the chair as of this writing. Submitted by the OASIS WSRM TC chair, Tom Rutt, trutt@us.fujitsu.com
