Basic Profilers, WS-Addressing wsa:Action header block is of type absolute URI [1]. SOAPAction HTTP header [2] is a URI reference (but not required to be absolute). Per the WS-Addressing SOAP binding [3] the two must either be the same or the SOAPAction HTTP header value must be "". It therefore follows from the three specs referenced above that any SOAP/HTTP message that uses WS-Addressing cannot have a SOAPAction HTTP header with a value that is not an absolute URI (with the exception of ""). I.e., relative URIs (other than the empty string) are prohibited. The WS-Addressing WG felt that this was clearly stated by the three specifications involved, but there were concerns expressed within the WS-A WG that this may not be very obvious to the readers (who have to connect the dots). It was felt that such clarification fell within the purview of WS-I Basic Profile WG and the WS-A WG wanted to bring this to your attention. Thanks and regards. -Anish Karmarkar on behalf of WS-Addressing WG -- [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-ws-addr-core-20060509/#msgaddrprops [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/#_Toc478383528 [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-ws-addr-soap-20060509/#s11extdesc
