Pull MEP

ebMS 3.0 / AS4 MEP binding suited to peers without a public listening endpoint.

Definition

On the Pull binding the sender queues the message against an MPC (Message Partition Channel); the receiver sends an eb:SignalMessage/PullRequest referencing that MPC and gets the UserMessage in the HTTP response. Useful when the receiver sits behind a firewall or NAT with no reachable endpoint. AS4 defines "One-Way/Pull" as one of its conformance profiles.

Origin

Defined by the Pull binding and PullRequest of OASIS ebMS 3.0 Part 1 (section 5.2.3.2) and profiled by the conformance MEPs of OASIS AS4 Profile of ebMS 3.0 Version 1.0.

Example in context

<eb:SignalMessage><eb:PullRequest mpc="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebxml-msg/as4/200902/mpc/queueA"/></eb:SignalMessage>

  • AS4 — defines the One-Way/Pull conformance profile.
  • ebMS 3.0 — specifies the Pull binding and PullRequest.
