RE: [ebxmlms-develop] Sending/receiving acknowledgements

[Ronald v. K. <rv...@ab...>]

Hi,
 
In our current implementation (not freebxml and not fully ebxml compliant)
we use an central ldap server to do a lookup for the host and type
(smtp/http/...) where a message for a certain PartyId and corresponding type
should be delivered. This could be skipped if the value of the PartyId is a
URI. But I agree, one way or another, it should work for other values than
"http://...."
 
Regarding the acknowledgement, it is only a messaging layer acknowledgement
for reliable messaging (afaik). If you need the application behind the
listener to receive an acknowledgement, it should be an ack on a different
level (other ebxml layer, or even not ebxml at all), not a messaging layer
ack.

Onderwerp: [ebxmlms-develop] Sending/receiving acknowledgements



A two part question on acknowledgements. 

First, I'd like to check some logic. 

The party ids of our messages are not of the form 

<eb:From> 
  <eb:PartyId> http://from/msh/ <http://from/msh/> </eb:PartyId> 
</eb:From> 

Instead, they look like this: 

<eb:From> 
  <eb:PartyId eb:type="ABN">123456789</eb:PartyId> 
  <eb:Role>Buyer</eb:Role> 
</eb:From> 

Normally, this doesn't seem to matter. However, when an acknowledgement is
requested, MessageProcessor attempts to build the URL of the message
recipient from the From PartyId. In our case, this is doomed to failure, and
the acknowledgement message is sent to the local Hermes instead.

Is this correct? If so, I'll have to add some more code to resolve a
destination URL from a partyid, and fix MessageProcessor to use it.

Second question: when an acknowledgement message is received, Hermes appears
to swallow it, and doesn't send it on to my listener. How can I tell if an
acknowledgement has arrived?

Thanks.
