Subject: PR issue 35 RE: Delivery Assurances
PR issue 35 -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Houstoun [mailto:kevinh@altkb.com] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 1:03 PM To: ws-rx-comment@lists.oasis-open.org Cc: paul@wso2.com Subject: [ws-rx-comment] RE: Delivery Assurances Having reviewed the spec I'm disappointed to note that delivery assurance have been dropped from this spec. FPL is FIX Protocol Limited, FIX is the messaging standard developed specifically for the real-time electronic exchange of securities transactions and is widely adopted in the securities industry. FIX comprises of a session layer that is responsible for the delivery of FIX's application messages. The FIX session layer provides guaranteed ordered delivery of FIX application messages. See www.fixprotocol.org for more background information. FPL has been looking at using the finalised WS-RX transport as an alternative transport for the FIX business application messages. The original idea was that we'd be able to formulate a single policy file that would provide reliable messaging with the following assurances, once only, in order and guaranteed. E.g. <wsrmp:ExactlyOnce/> <wsrmp:InOrder/> etc. It is envisaged that firms would use this where more scalability is needed than the existing FIX session layer provides and where the users are not sensitive to latency. As the specification stands we'll be in the situation of having to either drop support for this particular standard and advising our user community to wait for this technology to mature, suggest another standard such as a FAST session or issuing multiple policy files that will likely not achieve our aim of avoiding ambiguity. Could I please ask that the inclusion of delivery assurance in the specification be reconsidered as we'd very much like to advance using common technology standard rather than having to continue to roll our own in financial services.
