Re: An Example Use of RM's MakeConnection

Tom,
  I'm not talking about the failure case - look at the message flow that 
started this thread.

Lets assume that wsrm is not in use.  If the backchannel for a request 
is not available (due to tcp faulure perhaps) the http response will not 
flow.

The user will be made aware of the underlying transport fault, but it 
cannot get the response using normal ws addressing.

But wsrm has an additional mechanism, to allow unsent responses, from 
specific identified backchannels ("this is me again") using the 
makeConnection message.

If we view what we are doing in this way, the make connection stuff can 
be made part of the behaviour of the wsrm implementation
 (e.g, retaining queues for each idenfitied back channel, rather than 
the ws addressing implementation, directly.

After all, WS Reliable messaging protocol is outside the scope of the ws 
addressing prescribed behavious (e.g, reply message header requirements).
