WS-Addressing & accrefs

[Guy Rixon]

Hi,

we will need, sometime soon, a web-service equivalent of the access-reference
in SIAP.  The current accref is a HTTP-GET URL with request parameters
embedded, so doesn't work for SOAP services.

The recent proposed-standard WS-Addressing
(http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-add/)
defines an XML vocabulary for representing WS endpoints.  It's designed to add
routing information to SOAP headers, but we could use it to add accrefs to
SOAP bodies. Possibly better than writing our own standard.
