Hello, I have a bunch of doubts ,Kindy help I understand that when two end points communicate they must agree upon two things -Data Types (Type System) -Interaction Modes/Styles/Patterns. Interaction Modes ----------------- JAX-RPC defines three interaction modes in Chapter 3,R012 in 0.9 Spec 1) synchronous request response 2) one way RPC mode 3) Non Blocking RPC JAXM Defines Five Modes of Interaction ( See JAXM spec , 1.2 Scope ) 1)Asynchronous Inquiry 2)Asynchrnous update 3)Synchronous Inquiry 4)Synchronous Update 5) Fire and Forget Q1) Are these derived from http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlp-scenarios/ ? Q2) The Client would know about the Service ('Data Types ') from the WSDL file . How will the client know abt the *Interaction Mode* of the server ? Or Am I missing something here ? Thanks and regards Mandan Happy
