This is the last call announcement from the XML Protocol Working Group >(XMLP WG) for review of the SOAP Version 1.2 specification. > >==== >II. Request for Document Reviews. > >The XMLP WG asks for reviews of the following five documents: > >-- SOAP Version 1.2 Part 0: Primer [1] >Abstract. "SOAP Version 1.2 Part 0: Primer is a non-normative document >intended to provide an easily understandable tutorial on the features of >the SOAP Version 1.2 specifications. In particular, it describes the >features through various usage scenarios, and is intended to complement the >normative text contained in Part 1 and Part 2 of the SOAP 1.2 >specifications." > >-- SOAP Version 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework [2] >Abstract. "SOAP Version 1.2 is a lightweight protocol intended for >exchanging structured information in a decentralized, distributed >environment. "Part 1: Messaging Framework" defines, using XML technologies, >an extensible messaging framework containing a message construct that can >be exchanged over a variety of underlying protocols." > >-- SOAP Version 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts [3] >Abstract. "SOAP Version 1.2 is a lightweight protocol intended for >exchanging structured information in a decentralized, distributed >environment. SOAP Version 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts defines a set of adjuncts >that may be used with SOAP Version 1.2 Part1: Messaging Framework. This >specification depends on SOAP Version 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework." > >-- The "application/soap+xml" media type [4] >Abstract. "This document defines the "application/soap+xml" media type >which can be used to describe SOAP 1.2 messages serialized as XML." >The XMLP WG asks for review of the media type document with the same level >of priority as the other documents in section II; see section IV for a >statement of the WG's intentions with regard the media type document. > >-- SOAP Version 1.2 Specification Assertions and Test Collection [5] >Abstract. "This document draws on assertions found in the SOAP Version 1.2 >specifications, and provides a set of tests in order to show whether the >assertions are implemented in a SOAP processor. > >A SOAP 1.2 implementation that passes all of the tests specified in this >document may claim to conform to the SOAP 1.2 Test Suite, 2002/06/26. It is >incorrect to claim to be compliant with the SOAP Version 1.2 specifications >merely by passing successfully all the tests provided in this test suite. >It is also incorrect to claim that an implementation is non complaint with >the SOAP Version 1.2 specifications based on its failure to pass one or >more of the tests in this test suite." > >All comments on any of these documents should be sent to >xmlp-comments@w3.org. Please make sure that comments include document- and, >if appropriate, section-references. The appropriate forum for discussion of >any of these documents is the public W3C xml-dist-app mailing list [6]. > >==== >III. Other documents. > >-- The XMLP WG is publishing "SOAP Version 1.2 Email Binding" (Note) [7] as >an example of how to write a binding using the SOAP framework. Comments on >this document (to xmlp-comments@w3.org) are welcome although the XMLP WG >may not respond to comments on this document. > >-- The XMLP WG plans to publish a document (probably as a W3C Note) >describing an Attachment Feature. This document will be started during the >Last Call period and should be completed before SOAP 1.2 becomes a >Recommendation. > >-- For the purpose of providing background information, the XMLP WG is >publishing its Requirements [8] and Usage Scenarios [9] documents. No >review of these documents is sought. > >==== >IV. XMLP WG Intentions. > >-- Note the following statement regarding XMLP WG's intentions for the W3C >Recommendation track. The statement appears in the Status sections of the >SOAP 1.2 Parts 0, 1, 2, and Assertions and Test Collection documents >[1][2][3][5], >"Following completion of Last Call, the XML Protocol Working Group has >agreed to advance the specification according to four exit criteria: >1. Sufficient reports of implementation experience have been gathered to >demonstrate that SOAP processors based on the specification are >implementable and have compatible behavior. >2. An implementation report shows that there are at least two different and >interoperable implementations of every mandatory and optional feature. >3. Formal responses to all comments received by the Working Group. >4. If these criteria are met, the specification will advance to Proposed >Recommendation. If the implementation exit criteria are not met then the >specification will enter a Candidate Recommendation phase to ensure they >are met." > >-- Note the following statement regarding XMLP WG's intentions for "The >"application/soap+xml" media type" document [4]. The statement appears in >the Status sections of SOAP 1.2 Parts 1 and 2 [2][3], >"This document references "The 'application/soap+xml' media type" Internet >Draft which defines the "application/soap+xml" media type. The XML Protocol >Working Group intends to use in an IANA application to register the >"application/soap+xml" media type. The Working Group also intends to >incorporate the technical content of into a near future version of SOAP >Version 1.2 Part 2, and to maintain that content as part of the SOAP >specification." > >==== >V. Implementation Experience. >The XMLP WG seeks feedback on the SOAP 1.2 specification based on >experience gained from implementing the specification. More specifically, >the WG is interested in which features of the specification have been >implemented, whether implemented features have interoperated with other >implementations of those features. The WG asks implementers to send their >feedback to xmlp-comments@w3.org, and it maintains a web page [10] for >summarizing and tracking such feedback. > >==== >VI. The Last Call review period ends at 5p Pacific Time, 19 July 2002. > >==== >VII.
