[ebxmlms-develop] Non-compliance found, and other changes requested

[Gait B. <gai...@ti...>]

Hi,

while doing some internal testing in preparation for the =
interoperability tests in Europe (within CEN), I found some issues with =
the MSH.
First issue is with the Service element, which, according to section =
3.1.4.1 of the ebMS 2 spec must be a URI unless a type attribute is =
present. AFAICT, the MSH does not check this.

Second is with multiple Errors: The API does not allow for adding =
multiple errors to an ebXML message. The only function to add an Error =
is the addErrorList function, which will add an ErrorList element with =
one Error. I suggest that the ebxmlMessage class is augmented with an =
addError function, which creates the ErrorList when needed. Alternative =
is to allow for the creation of an empty ErrorList, and open up the =
addError in the ErrorList class.

The third issue is related to DuplicateElimination.
I set up two Monitors talking to each other. One Monitor repeatedly =
sends a message with a fixed message id and time stamp, and duplicate =
elimination (DE) turned on. However, all messages are received by the =
other Monitor. After adding some additional logging to =
MessageServer.hasReceived, I found that the record for the corresponding =
message is never retrieved from the database. I also noticed that =
hasReceived queries against a set of application context parameters and =
the message id, which I believe to be wrong, at least for DE. For DE, =
checking should be done on the parameters passed in from the message, =
since we want to check for duplication of the message itself.
Did I miss something in the configuration that might break proper DE =
handling? Could it be that it does not work because I'm looping back on =
the same MSH, and the sending Monitor actually updates the DB in between =
calls?

thnx,
