Infoworld.com has published an article describing the Web Services Reliability spec that features "extensions of SOAP that are intended to provide for guaranteed Web services delivery, eliminate message duplication, and provide for message ordering."
Setting the stage for another potential battle over Web services standardization, Sun Microsystems, Fujitsu, and Oracle on Tuesday plan to announce a specification for Web services reliability without participation from rivals IBM and Microsoft.
The Web Services Reliability (WS-Reliability) specification is intended to help accelerate adoption of Web services by promoting linking of applications via standard interfaces. WS-Reliability features extensions of SOAP that are intended to provide for guaranteed Web services delivery, eliminate message duplication, and provide for message ordering.
What do you think of the difficulties that competing companies are having in working together to defining Web Services standards?
