[DAIS-WG] [BYTEIO-WG] ByteIO interop

[Miguel Esteban Gutiérrez]

Hi everybody,

For my understanding of WS technology, the usage of document/literal
operations an bindings allows some short of decoupling among messages
and operations. An operation just requires a set of elements to be
present in the message to be able to use it (that is, not to raise
a failure because the message does not comply with a fixed schema, like
the rpc/literal style does). 

This is especially useful in service oriented architectures
built around and ESB, where utility services in the architecture 
need to partially process messages going around (adding new elements to
the messages or removing existing ones) whilst still allowing the original
intended service to be able to process the resulting messages. The book 
"Loosely coupled" by Doug Kaye illustrates this pretty well.

Cheers,

    Miguel

Thank you. This is useful.

Best to be explicit about these things else if one starts assuming
you could end up in lots of places....
