Re: Format of Response

Hi,

Well, FWIW in the implementation here DIME packaged request messages =
always result in a DIME packaged response (if there is one). This =
includes Fault messages. The reason was to simplify the server side =
logic, with the assumption being made that if the sender was capable of =
making a request using DIME, it would be capable of handling a DIME =
packaged response.

In the future I'm sure that the use of metadata such as the proposed =
"WSDL Binding for DIME" could guide the server in this area, but at the =
moment the WSDL processor here doesn't support it.
