Re: MEPs in SOAP 1.2 and WSDL 1.2

Philippe, I can find no mention of a "request and n responses" MEP in the
WSD requirements document [1], that document mentions a "request-response"
MEP which I assume is that defined by XMLP, one-way, and the
solicit-response MEP. With regard the latter MEP, XMLP has no intention to
incorporate it - in general, we describe a minimum number of MEPs that
support basic patterns.

2 specifications are going to define MEPs within the Web Services
Activity, namely SOAP 1.2 and WSDL 1.2.

It would be good for the XMLP WG to review the requirements of the WSD
WG and make sure that all MEPs addressed by SOAP 1.2 will be in WSDL
1.2, in particular "request and n responses".

The WSD WG has an open issue regarding solicit-response, which is not
supported in SOAP 1.2:
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/issues/wsd-issues.html#x35
It would be good to have some input from the XMLP WG regarding this
issue. Does XMLP expect to include this MEP in the future or in SOAP
1.2?
