Ed,
I was involved in the convergence of SOAP and ebXML's Message Service and
offer my personal viewpoint of the differences:
Function/Feature WEB Services ebXML MS Comment
(SOAP 1.1)
---------------- ------------ -------- -------------------------
Reliable Delivery NO YES
Defines Security Model NO YES
Supports attachments NO YES The SOAP spec does not
support
attachments. An
ancillary
spec, SOAP
with
Attachments provides
this
functionality.
Native support for NO YES Binary objects must be
Binary "payloads" base64 encoded
in SOAP
Native support for NO YES SOAP does not allow Document
all XML features and Type Declarations or
document types processing
instructions in
the SOAP
payload container
(BODY
ELEMENT). ebMS places
all payloads
in separate
containers,
which are MIME
aware and can
contain almost
any digital
data. XML
containing
these items must
be base64
encoded.
Supports RPC mode YES YES
Method to identify root element Uses Service and Action
remote procedures of BODY header elements to identify RPC to
invoke

Hi David,
This is very timely. However, I have an immediate need to clarify
the relationship between web services and ebXML. Advertising the fact that
there is a relationship between XML, web services and SAP commitment to both
will do little to convince my colleagues that ebXML is the way forward! Do
you have any clarifying articles/statements on the relationship of web
services and ebXML. The problem areas include resolving the relationship
between ebXML registry and UDDI.
