1.1 Glossary

  • Article

This document uses the following terms:

anonymous IRI: The anonymous Internationalized Resource Identifier as specified in section 3.2.1 of [WSA].

endpoint: An entity, processor, or resource that can be referenced where Web service messages are originated or targeted.

endpoint reference (EPR): As specified in section 2 of [WSA].

Reliable Messaging (RM): The transfer of SOAP messages between distributed applications in the presence of software component, system, or network failures.

reliable messaging destination (RMD): An endpoint that receives a message. For more information, see [WSRM1-0], [WSRM1-1], and [WSRM1-2].

reliable messaging source (RMS): An endpoint that sends a message. For more information, see [WSRM1-0], [WSRM1-1], and [WSRM1-2].

replay: A rule of usage defined in the replay model, as specified in [WSO2-Replay].

request: A SOAP message with additional constraints as specified in  [MS-WSRVCRR] section 2.2.1.

request message: A SOAP message with additional constraints as specified in Request Message (section 2.2.1).

response: A SOAP message with additional constraints as specified in  [MS-WSRVCRR] section 2.2.2.

response message: A SOAP message with additional constraints as specified in Response Message (section 2.2.2).

sequence: A one-way, uniquely identifiable batch of messages between an RMS and an RMD.

SOAP: A lightweight protocol for exchanging structured information in a decentralized, distributed environment. SOAP uses XML technologies to define an extensible messaging framework, which provides a message construct that can be exchanged over a variety of underlying protocols. The framework has been designed to be independent of any particular programming model and other implementation-specific semantics. SOAP 1.2 supersedes SOAP 1.1. See [SOAP1.2-1/2003].

SOAP Request-Response: The SOAP Request-Response Message Exchange Pattern as specified in [SOAP1.2-2/2007] section 6 or SOAP over HTTP as specified in [SOAP1.1] section 6.

Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): A string that identifies a resource. The URI is an addressing mechanism defined in Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax [RFC3986].

Web Services Reliable Messaging (WSRM) Protocol: A protocol that defines mechanisms that enable web services to ensure delivery of messages over unreliable communication networks. The WSRM Protocol allows different operating and middleware systems to reliably exchange these messages.

WSRM Protocol: The Web Services Reliable Messaging Protocol (WS-ReliableMessaging) as specified in [WSRM1-0] and [WSRM1-1].

MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as defined in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or SHOULD NOT.
