On today's TBTF Telcon the TBTF broadly agreed that the responsibility for defining the rules for delivering fault messages generated during a SOAP message exchange rests with message exchange pattern specifications. I picked up the action to review our current working draft [1,2] to determine whether they artiuclate a requirement that an MEP specification MUST include a description of rules to applied to the delivery of fault messages when the corresponding MEP is in operation. Currently the SOAP Protocol Binding Framework [3] does NOT articulate such a requirement on MEP specifications, although it should be noted that the Request Response MEP description at [4] does infact specify the rules for the delivery of faults when that MEP is in operation. I would like to make the following proposal which I hope will lead to the closure of Issue 102. Part 1 Section 5.3 "Binding Framework" [5] states: <quote> As described above, SOAP can be augmented with optional features, (such as reliable message delivery, request/response MEPs, multicast MEPs, etc.). The specification of each such feature MUST include the following: 1. The information (state) required at each node to implement the feature. 2. The processing required at each node in order to fulfill the obligations of the feature. 3. The information transmitted from node to node, and in the case of MEPs, any requirements to generate additional messages (such as responses to requests in a request/response MEP). </quote> I propose that the third list item be amended as follows: <proposedText> 3. The information transmitted from node to node, and in the case of MEPs, >> rules for the delivery or other disposition of SOAP faults generated during the operation of the MEP and<< any requirements to generate additional messages (such as responses to requests in a request/response MEP). </proposedText> Regards Stuart Williams [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/ [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part2/ [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/#transpbindframew [4] http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part2/#ND5B [5] http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/#NA90
