RE: ISSUE : Extensible message exchange patterns

Jean-Jacques,

Yes, at the message level. Although it is still an optional default extension, right? It is also tightly related to SOAP. Can someone use SOAP MEP without SOAP?

General purpose MEP, I believe, is part of the full-fledged orchestration already.

>>The current SOAP MEP is defined here [1] (request-response). Example 2 at [2] uses that MEP. Actually, most example today use that MEP, without knowing (just like Mr. Jourdain used prose).

Thanks for the info. It helped, although I still don't understand where would things like reqres:Role="RequestingSOAPNode" appear in the SOAP message.

PS. By the way http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/1/10/11/OverlappingRRStd.png in [1] was forbidden for me...

I regard SOAP MEP as being at a higher level than this. IMO, they fit at the WSDL message level, not at the binding level.

The current SOAP MEP is defined here [1] (request-response). Example 2 at [2] uses that MEP. Actually, most example today use that MEP, without knowing (just like Mr. Jourdain used prose).
