SOAP actor attribute
Hi !
I have searched far and wide, and found very little documentation about SOAP
other then the W3C Specs or very similar doc. I am looking for something
like a developer's/programmer's guide.
For my specific question : I have a hard time fully understanding the
meaning/utility/implications of the SOAP actor attribute of the SOAP header.
E.g. does the actor attribute apply to SOAP RPC services or is it for
one-way messages only ? How does one specify intermediairies along the
message path ? For what purposes can actors be used/ not be used ? Any SOAP
implementations implementing the actor attribute, b.t.w. (Apache SOAP 2.2
seems not to) ?
Any pointers very much appreciated, especially code examples !
As you see, I am not an expert with SOAP. We have been using servlet-based
technology up until now, and plan on using web services in the (as near as
possible) future.
Thanks,
M.

There's a couple of us experimenting with SOAP intermediaries and
SOAP-RP over on the soapbuilders list. The thread starts with

Hi,
I'd be interested in learning more about SOAP actors myself.
The way I currently understand actors is that SOAP messages are bounced from
one
actor to another, and each actor processes the SOAP message in some way. I
haven't
seen any implementations, myself, although I'm sure there are some.
Microsoft has come up
with a SOAP routing protocol, SOAP-RP,
(http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/xml_wsspecs/soap-rp/default.html)
that appears to define how intermediaries are specified on the message path,
for one-way messages.
I hope this helps - I just started reading this specification yesterday.
Unfortunately, a search on google for "SOAP actors" tends to turn up
daytime television web pages ;) - It is sort of unfortunate terminology.
Thanks,
Jeff
