This whitepaper provides an overview and roadmap for reliable Web services communication. This paper employs a common scenario with examples of real world applications to identify key requirements that must be addressed in the advanced Web services architecture.
This whitepaper introduces the core RM protocol and positions it with other Web services specifications, such as the WS-Policy and WS-Security families, required to provide a complete solution. It also identifies additional messaging requirements to increase the number of customer scenarios supported, for example flow control and metadata exchange (or the ability to exchange message description and policy information ).
