ABSTRACT

This session will start by examining the general requirements for an XML messaging layer within a typical B2B scenerio. It will then commence an analysis of the ebXML Message Sevice. We will explore the details of the MIME multipart/related packaging solution, discuss the ebXML SOAP Extensions and outline the business quality messaging characteristics of the ebXML Message Service: reliable delivery and security. The session concludes by examining how this functionality is being exploited by architects currently designing industry-specific vertical standards. Intended Audience: Software developers, Web Service Architects and others interested in the XML "plumbing" required for industrial strength B2B operation.
