RE: Soap Over Beep Question

Gabe,

If you have no other way of identifying that it is a one-way message,
then you can examine the message, and when you have decided that it
one-way, then respond with the NUL, and after that you can "process" the
message. By "process" I mean the substantive work that you will do as a
result of receiving the message (e.g. write to a database, interact with
the file system, start a new process, etc.).

IN the case of mixture of patterns (which I think will be the modal
case),
the wording *could* be interpreted to allow what you describe below
("peeks inside the envelope").

The way I read "immediately sends back a "NUL" message, before
processing
the contents of the envelope" says that you *can't* do what you propose.
The trick is what you mean by the "contents of the envelope". I read
this
as "you can't open up the SOAP envelope at all". I think you are
suggesting something else?
