Here is the text from WS-Transfer: "An endpoint MAY indicate that it supports WS-Transfer, or its features, by including the WS-Transfer Policy assertion within its WSDL. By doing so the endpoint is indicating that the corresponding WS-Transfer operations are supported by that endpoint even though they do not explicitly appear in its WSDL (i.e. retrievable by using a WS-MetadataExchange GetMetadata with a Dialect IRI of http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/). " The last sentence in brackets: "(i.e. retrievable by using a WS-MetadataExchange GetMetadata with a Dialect IRI of http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/)." implies that the GetMetadata must be supported by the endpoint. Proposal Change the text slightly to: "(i.e. the WSDL that MAY be retrievable by using a WS-MetadataExchange GetMetadata with a Dialect IRI of http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/)." 28323 1 bob 2009-10-13 22:43:25 +0000 2009-10-13 resolved as proposed 121308 2 jackiewindsor09 2015-06-20 16:34:35 +0000 Please make my changes 121388 3 jackiewindsor09 2015-06-20 16:35:23 +0000 Please make my changes
