Testimonials for WS-Addressing 1.0 Recommendation
These testimonials are in support of W3C issuance of WS-Addressing 1.0 as a
W3C Recommendation.
By enabling asynchronous messaging and better
coordination of data exchanges, WS-Addressing frees Web services from the
classic HTTP request/response and brings a new level of flexibility to
corporate SOA environments. CA will continue to contribute to these
advancements in SOA standards to help our customers better leverage all
available information resources across and beyond the enterprise.

product management, CA
Fujitsu, as a leading provider of
Internet-based enterprise systems and a strong supporter of open
standards in the field, welcomes the completion of the W3C
Recommendation WS-Addressing. Fujitsu has been involved in the
development of this specification which will provide a long-awaited
common and interoperable solution in using and representing endpoint
address data for Web services. This is an important step toward
achieving the interoperability of Web-enabled business
applications. Fujitsu expects widespread adoption of the standard
and will support it in coming releases of its enterprise products.

Hitachi is pleased that the W3C's new
Recommendation "WS-Addressing" has standardized general methods of
addressing Web services endpoints. Many business processes and practical
applications require transport-independent addressing mechanisms.
WS-Addressing permits for the first time a normative approach, which is a
significant milestone that encourages the widespread use of Web services.
The flexibility provided by this standard allows these Web service
mechanisms to be used in a far wider scope of system images.

Ltd.
Microsoft Corp. is pleased to see
WS-Addressing 1.0 become a W3C Recommendation. As co-authors and
implementers of the original WS-Addressing submission in 2004, Microsoft
has long viewed having a standard method of addressing messages as a
fundamental extension to SOAP. Many other specifications, such as WS-Trust,
WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Coordination, leverage this facility to
provide secure, reliable, transacted Web services that interoperate across
platforms. Microsoft will continue its support of WS-Addressing by
implementing the W3C Recommendation in the next versions of its Web
services-enabled products, including the forthcoming Windows Communication
Foundation 1.0.
-- Andrew Layman, Director of Connected Systems Integration, Microsoft
Corporation
As a key contributor to the normalization
of WS-Addressing and a long-term member of the W3C, webMethods is very
pleased to see WS-Addressing become a W3C Recommendation. Our endorsement
is reflective of our longstanding support for open standards for Web
services and their incorporation into our products. We expect that
WS-Addressing will be embraced as an important infrastructural
specification as it provides a uniform mechanism for addressing Web
services over synchronous and/or asynchronous transports.

日立製作所は、この度
W3C 勧告として成立した WS-Addressing によって Web
サービスエンドポイントを参照するための手段が標準化されたことを歓迎します。多くの業務プロセスや実用アプリケーションでは、通信層に依存しないエンドポイント参照機構が必要です。本仕様によって、初めてそのための標準的なアプローチが確立されたことは、Web
サービスの実用化に向けた重要なマイルストーンです。WS-Addressing
がもたらす柔軟性によって、より広いシステム形態で
Webサービスが利用できるようになると考えます。
