Dick. Thanks a lot for the clarification. I have no doubt that it will prove very useful in our internal deliberations.

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 document types Type Declarations or processing instructions or 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.

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. -----Original Message----- From: David RR Webber - XMLGlobal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: October 15, 2002 2:06 PM To: XMLEDI Group Subject: [announce] Oct 16th - SAP @ Uniboard and XML integration Webcast.
