Also, the <action> element in a WS-Routing header is designed to convey
this sort of information...

Currently, many implementations will dispatch based on the child element
of the Body, so long as there is only one child element and that element
is unique amongst possible receptors.

Subject: [SOAP] SOAPAction alternatives

Sorry to bring up an 'old chesnut' subject once again, but ..., my
organisation is moving ahead with the implementation of web services
which are accessible over a number of transport protocols, and we feel
the need for a protocol indpendant mechanism for identifying the
requested service and operation which ultimately will be used to
identifying the internal target implementation. The vast majority of
message exchanges use SOAP in document/literal form.

We already support ebXML MS and thus the SOAP Header elements which
convey this intent, but, not all of our calling clients use ebXML and
neither do we necessarilly want to force them to do so.

If there's a unilateral groan of 'oh not again' I would be happy to be
re-directed to threads which have previously discussed this one :-)

Cheers

Fraser.
