Jean-Jacques, What you have described is exactly what we have done - bound a SOAP Request to an HTTP Response, and a SOAP Response to an HTTP Request. I think that my email may have mislead you into thinking that we have defined *new* MEPs for SOAP, but that is not true. This is just an HTTP binding "in reverse". - JohnK On Wednesday, May 14, 2003, at 00:20 Australia/Sydney, Jean-Jacques Moreau wrote: > John, > > My understanding is that your specification create two new MEPs (and > probably extends the current SOAP HTTP binding). > > Another option (probably more natural) would be to reuse the existing > SOAP Request-Response MEP, and create instead a "Reverse SOAP HTTP > Binding".
