Recall that the original impetus for all this discussion was Noah's question of how to reconcile multiple receivers with the SOAP processing model, which clearly describes a single message path from sender to receiver. Having explored the implications pretty thoroughly by now, I think the answer is straightforward: There is one message path per receiver. We may choose to say more, under various circumstances, but I don't believe we're obligated to. If we are so obligated (the precedent of request-response to the contrary), then I'm quite convinced such an obligation is independent of how many receivers there might be. In other words, allowing for 0 .. N receivers does not open significant issues w.r.t. message paths and the SOAP processing model.Received on Friday, 1 December 2006 19:29:39 GMT
