RE: [ebxml-msg] Use of WS-Context

Title: Message

Other 
questions: 

 

1 Will 
we ever use a context service (will context be referenced and not included 
by value)?

 

2. 
(General) Do we gain anything by using ws-context and its wrapper elements? 
Is ws-context "mainstream"

enough 
to be something "needed" for convergence? Will it possibly make it "harder" to 
implement ebMS 3.0 on the

restricted offerings of some venders?

Subject: [ebxml-msg] Use of 
  WS-Context

  

  
After wrapping up our RM 
  discussions on today’s call, I would like to continue the discussion on the 
  use of WS-Context. Below is an example of what the ebXML MessageHeader may 
  look like encapsulated within context element:

  
 

  
 

  
<context 
  xmlns="http://www.webservicestransactions.org/schemas/wsctx/2003/03" 
  

  
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
  

  
xmlns:eb="http://www.ebxml.org/namespaces/messageHeader" 
  

  
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.webservicestransactions.org/schemas/wsctx/2003/03 
  contextexperiment.xsd" timeout="0">

  
<eb:MessageHeader 
  soap:mustUnderstand="true" version="3.0">

  
  
            
  <eb:From>

  
  
                  
  <eb:PartyId>mailto:</eb:PartyId>

  
  
            
  </eb:From>

  
  
            
  <eb:To>

  
  
                  
  <eb:PartyId>mailto:</eb:PartyId>

  
  
            
  </eb:To>

  
  
            
  <eb:CPAId>123</eb:CPAId>

  
  
            
  <eb:ConversationId>20002</eb:ConversationId>

  
  
            
  <eb:Service>urn:services:myservice</eb:Service>

  
  
            
  <eb:Action>DoMyServiceOperationA</eb:Action>

  
  
            
  <eb:MessageData>

  
  
                  
  <eb:MessageId>996476529250</eb:MessageId>

  
  
                  
  <eb:Timestamp>2001-07-20T9:31:12Z</eb:Timestamp>

  
  
            
  </eb:MessageData>

  
      
  </eb:MessageHeader>

  
      
  <context-identifier>http://www.contextuser.com/mycontext/0002</context-identifier>

  
      
  <context-service 
  reference-scheme="http://www.contextservice.com"/>

  
      
  <type>http://www.altova.com</type>

  
      
  <context-manager 
  reference-scheme="http://www.contextmanager.com"/>

  
      
  <parent-context timeout="0">

  
            
  <context-identifier>http://www.contextuser.com/mycontext/0001</context-identifier>

  
            
  <context-service 
  reference-scheme="http://www.contextservice.com"/>

  
            
  <type>http://www.ebxml.com</type>

  
            
  <context-manager 
  reference-scheme="http://www.contextmanager.com"/>

  
      
  </parent-context>

  
</context>

  
 

  
Some points I would like 
  to discuss are the use of elements such as context-manager and parent-context. 
  Cheers!
