What is WS-ReliableMessaging

Chapter 48
Handbook of Research in Mobile Business, Second Edition: Technical, Methodological and Social Perspectives
It is short for the Web Services Reliable Messaging Specification. The specification describes a reliable messaging (RM) protocol between two endpoints, termed as RM source (RMS) and RM destination (RMD). The core concept introduced in WS-ReliableMessaging is sequence. A sequence is a unidirectional reliable channel between the RMS and the RMD. At the beginning of a reliable conversation between the two endpoints, a unique sequence must first be created. The sequence is terminated when the conversation is over. Each message in a sequence is assigned a message number. The message number starts at 1 and is incremented by 1 for each subsequent message. The reliability of the messaging is achieved by the retransmission and positive acknowledgement mechanisms.

Abstract
Wireless Web services are becoming a reality, if they have not already. The unique characteristics of the mobile devices and wireless communication medium, such as limited computing power, limited network bandwidth, limited battery life, unpredictable online time, mobility, and so forth,, imply that the infrastructure for wireless Web services will be very different from its wired counterpart. This chapter discusses the challenges and the stateof- the-art solutions to ensure highly performable wireless Web services. In particular, this chapter’s focus is on three technical issues: optimization of the wireless Web services messaging protocol, caching, and fault tolerance. Finally, limitations of the current approaches and an outline of future research directions on wireless Web services are also discussed.
