Thank you very much for the quick answer. Please see my inline comments.

But, I was able to put any text in any size into xs:anyURI qualified field. You can test it with the following schema and instance. ------------------------------------------------------------ anyURITest.xsd ------------------------------------------------------------ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"; elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"; schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/ws-addr.xsd"/> <xs:element name="URITest"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="xsAnyURI" type="xs:anyURI"/> <xs:element name="wsaAttributedURIType" type="wsa:AttributedURIType"/> <xs:element ref="wsa:MessageID"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> ------------------------------------------------------------ Xml instance which is valid against the anyURITest.xsd ------------------------------------------------------------ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <URITest xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="anyURITest.xsd"> <xsAnyURI>abc 123 4as arw4343 -?;,[EMAIL PROTECTED] $</xsAnyURI> <wsaAttributedURIType>abc 123 4as arw4343 -?;,[EMAIL PROTECTED] $</wsaAttributedURIType> <wsa:MessageID>abc 123 4as arw4343 -?;,[EMAIL PROTECTED] $</wsa:MessageID> </URITest> > <snip> > > > > 1) I need to write MessageID value to the database and > > therefore need to know exact size and format of it. > > Is there a *sender neutral* way of this? > > No. All you can know is that a conformant message id is an IRI If I'm not missing something, according to the my previous comment, IRI can be *anything*. > > > > 2) Although http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing schema > > does not mandate for a special format, does Axis2 expect > > a special pattern? > > The spec requires an IRI so if it did expect something > I'd be more than a little surprised given the interop > results. Is there any interop test that sets MessageID to the nonconformant IRI value? I mean, if someone has sent a value like "abc 123 4as arw4343 -?;,[EMAIL PROTECTED] $" ?
