One quick question in [1]the Web Services Architecture as stated under the section, "3.3.3.2.2 Orchestration", as follows: 3.3.3.2.2 Orchestration <snip> "For example, the seller must have web services that receive request for quote (RFQ) messages, purchase order (PO) messages and payment messages. The buyer role must have Web services that receive quotes (RFQ response messages), invoice messages and account summary messages." </snip> How come the buyer(i.e., client) MUST have "Web services." The client should be able to acess and interact with Web sevices provided by the seller, i.e., the Web services provider, without having Web services at the client side. I cann't think of any scenario that the client, i.e., excluding the intermediary, need to have Web services. Any comments? Regards, Pae [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-ws-arch-20021114/#id2616565
