Microsoft plans Web services spec meeting
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Tuesday at its Redmond, Wash., campus plans to hold a summit meeting to seek input on the Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-ReliableMessaging) specification for Web services-based integration, according to sources familiar with Microsoft's plans. Microsoft and co-developers IBM, Tibco, and BEA Systems in March announced publication of WS-ReliableMessaging.
Sun Microsystems, for one, has been critical of IBM and Microsoft for what Sun claims have been attempts to promote in-house specifications as industry standards without going to a standards body. OASIS, for its part, has even formed a technical committee around the issue of reliable messaging for Web services.
