  • 1.  FW: [ebxml-dev] EbMS interopability: Content-type startparameternot matching content-id

    Hi guys,

    there’s a error in the example in section 2.1.2 of the V2 ebMS spec with regard to the value for Content-id. The example shows the cid [incorrectly] without the angle brackets (“<“ “>”) in the start parameter of the Content-Type MIME header field of the multi part. The Content-Id MIME header of the related part however has the cid enclosed in brackets.

    Should we correct this? It seems that it can lead to confusion (see the mail below).

    Regards,
    Sander

    Hi all,

    Cleo chose to follow the example in the ebMS specification.  LexiCom does accept incoming messages with or without the enclosing '<' and '>' in the start parameter, but for outgoing messages LexiCom will leave off the enclosing characters.

    I do see though that even the ebMS specification itself is inconsistent as examples in Appendix B show the syntax suggested.  If this is causing interoperability issues, please contact support-ec@cleo.com and we will look at adding a formatting option.

    The Drummond Group has been
    conducting interoperability tests for ebMS2 for 8 years now (which has
    included Cleo and Oracle), and as far as my reasearch has shown, we
    have no history of this being an interop issue -- at least one that
    required any sort of special "consensus item" discussion and resolution.

    This is a known issue, here is an ancient reference from seven years ago:
     
     
    I remember as it did cause an interoperability issue with two ebMS2 implementations I was working with in 2004. These were custom implementations that never participated in any Drummond test.
     
    We could post an errata for ebMS2.  We also have a UPA violation with the ebMS 2.0 XSD that we discussed a year ago, did we ever post the patched XSD ?
     
    And we could think about an errata for ebMS 3 Core, it has a few minor issues too.
