Sean discovers WS-MessageDelivery<\/a>\nwhich triggers him to display a level of frustration that I didn’t expect to see, but\nthat I’m happy about.

Sean writes;<\/p>\n\n

\nYou started at the wrong end of the pipe. SOAP always was and always will be and API-centric worldview.\n\nThat is not the future.\n\nThat is the past.\n\nRe-implemented badly.\n\nSometimes I wonder. I really do.\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I disagree that SOAP requires an API-centric worldview – I battled against\nenormous odds to ensure SOAP 1.2 didn’t – but I certainly agree that this is\nhow Web services proponents and specs are using the\nSOAP specs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

On the other hand, to their credit, Web services promoters are<\/em>\ntrying to distance themselves from APIs. The problem is that they think\nthey’ve done this with “document oriented SOAP” by removing the operation\nfrom the message. Unfortunately though, in their architecture, the operation\nis<\/em> still in effect, it’s just hidden from the message which actually\nmakes things\nworse<\/em> than RPC<\/a>\n(in case you wondered if that was possible!).<\/p>\n\n

What Web services need is an architecture based purely<\/em> on document\nexchange, not some RPC\/document bastard.
