I am starting discussion of an issue raised earlier by Doug Davis. This is the description from the issues list: "wsa:FaultTo "may be absent if the sender cannot receive fault messages (e.g. is a one-way application message)." But it also says that in the absence of wsa:FaultTo the wsa:ReplyTo/From may be used. So, how does a sender really say that it doesn't want ANY fault messages at all but still be allowed to specify a wsa:From?" This is essentially asking for a "fire and forget" MEP that will never receive a reply even under fault conditions. I am struggling with whether this condition actually falls within the scope of WS-A. >From my perspective WS-A has the most to offer by enabling the following three things: 1) True Asynchronous Messaging 2) Transport Independent Addressing and 3) Stateful Service Interactions (session mgmt via ref props) An application that wants to send a message and never worry about a response, including a fault, can easily do so today without WS-A. Thoughts from others? Doug? ~harris ------------------------------ Harris Reynolds webMethods, Inc. http://www.webmethods.com/ ------------------------------
