Hi Carl, ----------------- Carl said: I don't understand why BizTalk was created. To me, this looks like a reinvention of email, but using XML tags and proprietary naming systems instead of RFC-822 and MIME headers, and the Internet DNS system for message exchange naming and routing. Rather than use a scheme incompatible with existing messaging systems, the IETF-EDI approach to utilizing existing Internet standards to exchange XML messages with signatures and receipts. BizTalk should be standardizing the message content (or really standardizing the way to _document_ the message definitions), not defining a new incompatible messaging infrastructure. Didier say: Maybe I missed something after two readings of the documents. Where did you saw that? Is the <route> tag that makes you say that? It is not for external communication but for internal communication. Like they explain on an other document, external communication is through SMTP, HTPP, HTTPS all IETF RFCs. They say that the <route> element is optional. This could be used for inter departmental exchange (socket to socket). This could be used also to keep all workflow information that other protocols like SMTP do not include. Now, is the <route> element sufficient for workflow or inter-departmental communication. Note: I don't give a dam that Microsoft created Biztalk but If there is some good ideas why not use them and not necessarily with Microsoft software. Sometime, some posts reminds me of dark ages and narrow minds. Sorry Carl, Its only that this week the density of idiocy has skyrocket in this list. Where are the sharp minds? Where are the colleagues who can criticize with good arguments (not cheap Microsoft is this or that...) Where are the folks who are still curious? Please don't tell me they are gone all in utopia. Take two: What do you find wrong with the optional <route> tag (please make the doctor advice against allergic reactions - forget Microsoft did it - imagine that somebody else came with that paper). Do you have a better schema to encode workflow? maybe you have a better idea. If yes, please share it with us - poor fellows with instable curiosity ( a specie determined for extinction it seems). --------------------- regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@n... http://www.netfolder.com xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
