The SOAP binding spec does not say anything about generating reply or fault messages (although it does define faults). Perhaps we should move the part about 'generates reply or fault messages ..." to the "... conforms to the WS-A WSDL Binding ..." part (or remove it all together). -Anish -- Jonathan Marsh wrote: > Testable cross-specification conformance statements are hard to write, > but here goes. > > "An endpoint which conforms to this specification understands and > accepts SOAP messages containing headers in the wsa namespace > targeted to it, generates reply or fault messages it may send in > response according to the rules outlined in this specification, > and, if the endpoint provides a WSDL description, conforms to the > WS-A WSDL Binding specification." > > And we export the issue of precisely what conformance to the WSDL > Binding means to that spec. > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Francisco Curbera [mailto:curbera@us.ibm.com] >>Sent: Sunday, May 01, 2005 8:46 PM >>To: Jonathan Marsh >>Cc: public-ws-addressing@w3.org; public-ws-addressing-request@w3.org >>Subject: Re: [lc6][lc35]: Clarify conformance requirements (SOAP, >>substantive) >> >>If an endpoint publishes its WSDL description (by whatever mechanism), >>we >>should assume that the values of the Action IRIs it accepts are >>defined as >>indicated by the WSA WSLD binding spec.
