Messaging standard OK'd for Web services
Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-ReliableMessaging) version 1.1, for message transference using Web services, has been approved as an official OASIS Standard, OASIS said on Thursday.
The specification allows messages to be transferred reliably despite failures in software components, systems or networks, OASIS said. Reliability features are included such as ordered delivery, duplicate elimination and guaranteed receipt.
"Reliable messaging is one of the features customers demand most as they move to electronic business. The problem is that messages can be lost, repeated, or reordered and host systems can fail," said Paul Fremantle of WSO2, co-chair of the OASIS Web Services Reliable Exchange (WS-RX) Technical Committee, in a statement released by OASIS. "WS-ReliableMessaging addresses all these risks by providing a modular mechanism that identifies, tracks, and manages the reliable transfer of messages between a source and a destination."
OASIS considers WS-ReliableMessaging critical for SOA, in that it can handle a variety of SOA requirements. WS-ReliableMessaging can be extended to enable integration with capabilities such as security. SOAP binding for interoperability is included.
WS-ReliableMessaging is part of a series of Web services specifications dubbed WS-* that have been championed by companies such as Microsoft. Among the other companies involved in developing WS-ReliableMessaging were Adobe, BEA Systems, IBM, Oracle, Red Hat and Sun Microsystems.
