while updating a SOAP 1.2 script, I've been wondering about the relation between SOAP/Addressing and the SOAP transport protocol binding. I'd like some input before opening any issue. A little bit of angle brackets shouldn't hurt anyone, so here is an example of an experimental SOAP email being generated: From: CVS Update Notifier To: Mirrors Content-Type: application/soap+xml;action=http://www.w3.org/2004/09/DirectoryUpdate Subject: Mirror update Message-Id: <20050215190310.10C08D69C9@localhost> Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 19:03:10 +0000 (GMT) <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns="http:/www.w3.org/2004/09/mirror" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/addressing"> <s:Header> <wsa:To s:mustUnderstand="true">http://www.w3.org/2005/02</wsa:To> <wsa:From> <wsa:Address>file://main/u/jigsaw/CVSTREE/WWW/2005/02</wsa:Address> </wsa:From> <wsa:Action>http://www.w3.org/2004/09/DirectoryUpdate</wsa:Action> </s:Header> <s:Body> <mirror timestamp="2005-02-15T19:03:11Z" user="anonymous"> <resource action='modified'>15-addressing.html</resource> <message>Updated the Addressing namespace. Made absolute URIs.</message> </mirror> </s:Body> </s:Envelope> 2 points on this message: - the SOAP action parameter value is duplicated, both in the addressing and content-type headers. - the message-id information appears at the SMTP level, but not at the SOAP level (since the message-id header is generated by the sendmail daemon in this case). One way to prevent duplication would be to require every addressing properties to be contained in the Addressing headers, but this doesn't help here since Message-Id is only obtained at the transport protocol layer. I could certainly remove the action parameter in the Content-Type header but I would wonder about the use of the action parameter in the application/soap+xml media type. One way out would be to indicate that action and message-id must be present either in the SOAP Addressing headers or in the transport protocol (and if duplicated, they must be equivalent). Thoughts (including on other issue with the example)? Philippe
