Only if you're locked into thinking about HTTP and client/server models. In a pub/sub world, an out-only pattern (or any out-initial pattern) is a nice fit, and we expect to see these widely used. This is because, in pub/sub, the service is talking, not listening; publishing, not serving. The other nodes interacting with the service are not requesters/clients, but listeners/subscribers. > I don't see why it should be that way and why we should assume that the > provider agent's behavior is better known than the requester agent's > behavior. Because the WSDL is always from the point of view of the service. This is ground we have gone over multiple times. Amy! -- Amelia A. Lewis Senior Architect TIBCO/Extensibility, Inc. alewis@tibco.com
