When we discussed this on the implementors call yesterday I was happy with your explanation. Output and outfault messages don't map to HTTP requests and infaults are not used with the 3 MEPs defined by the spec Part 2.
I'm now just wondering about user-defined MEPs ... about the possibility that the {http location} property might be used with some user-defined MEP like in-out-in or in-out-in-out with a fault ruleset that permits an <infault> on the second 'in'. If the spec needs to allow for user-defined MEPs, then perhaps the wording should include 'infault' as well as 'input'. For example: "Strings enclosed within single curly braces MUST be element names from the instance data of the input or infault message."

I don't think this binding supports mapping an output or fault to an HTTP request message. It only supports the in-out, in-only, and robust-in-only MEPs, in which the input message maps to the HTTP request. *Jonathan Marsh* - http://www.wso2.com - http://auburnmarshes.spaces.live.com ------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *John Kaputin (gmail) *Sent:* Monday, December 18, 2006 3:56 AM *To:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Cc:* woden-dev@ws.apache.org *Subject:* Clarifying assertion for HTTP Location Part 2 section 6.7.1.1 Construction of the request IRI using the {http location} property. This section contains the assertion: "Strings enclosed within single curly braces MUST be element names from the instance data of the input message." I assume 'input message' here refers generically to any input data for the HTTP request (i.e. to a WSDL input, output or fault message element). To make this clearer and to keep it consistent with the description at hyperlink "instance data", perhaps you could restate this something like: "Strings enclosed within single curly braces MUST be element names from the instance data of the input, output or fault message." regards, John Kaputin.
