The first part of this document (2. Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature) describes an abstract feature for optimizing the transmission and/or wire format of a SOAP message ([SOAP Part 1]) by selectively encoding portions of the message, while still presenting an XML Infoset to the SOAP application.
Unlike SOAP itself, which is defined in terms of XML Infosets [XML InfoSet], this feature models message envelopes using the XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model [XML Query Data Model], which is a typed superset of the Infoset. This feature uses type information only for optimization purposes; it does not provide for reconstruction of type information at receivers, except as necessary to support optimization. Nonetheless, use of the Data Model in this specification facilitates optimized transmission of query results through SOAP, and should provide a useful foundation if, for example, digital signature canonicalizations were to be developed for Data Model instances. Use of the Data Model here should also facilitate the work of those who may wish to develop features to provide for optimized transmission of the full typed Data Model: the changes needed to this specification should be straightforward, and the optimizations provided herein should be easy to generalize for such use.
The usage of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature is a hop-by-hop contract between a SOAP node and the next SOAP node in the SOAP message path, providing no mandatory convention for optimization of SOAP transmission through intermediaries. The feature does provide optional means by which binding implementations MAY choose to facilitate the efficient pass-through of optimized data contained within headers or bodies relayed by an intermediary (see 2.3.4 Binding Optimizations at Intermediaries). Additional specifications might also be written to provide for other optimized multi-hop capabilities, perhaps building on the mechanisms provided herein.
The second part (3. An Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization of SOAP Messages) describes an Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization of SOAP Messages implementing the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature in a binding independent way. This implementation relies on the [XOP] format.
The third part (4. HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature) uses this Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization of SOAP Messages for describing an implementation of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature for the SOAP 1.2 HTTP binding (see [SOAP Part 2] 7. SOAP HTTP Binding).

Editorial note: HR | |
Request for comments: currently all level of MTOM (2. Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature, 3. An Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization of SOAP Messages and 4. HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature) and XOP support only the optimization of Element Nodes with base64-encoded content in canonical form. Does it make sense? |

This specification has currently no well-defined relation with the [SOAP 1.2 Attachment Feature] specification. However, it may be expected that this specification will supersede the [SOAP 1.2 Attachment Feature] specification once this specification has been widely deployed.
Although not specifically implementing an "attachment" abstraction, this specification is intended to fulfill all attachment feature requirements described in [SOAP 1.2 Attachment Feature].
Editorial note: HR | |
Those two paragraphs should be changed/removed when relation with the SOAP 1.2 Attachment Feature is made clear. |
The implementation of the abstract feature as a binding feature for an HTTP binding is intended to enhance the SOAP HTTP binding described in [SOAP Part 2] 7. SOAP HTTP Binding or an updated version of it.
This document has been produced in conjunction with the development of requirements, embodied in the requirements document [SOAP Attachment Requirements]. The requirements document is a work in progress. No reconciliation of this document and the requirements document has been done for this publication. It is expected that this document and the requirements document will iteratively evolve over time.
Editorial note: Noah | |
We should check requirements and revise this paragraph in going to last call. |
The SOAP Recommendation ([SOAP Part 1] and [SOAP Part 2]) provides for processing of SOAP "envelopes", which are modeled as XML Information Sets ([XML InfoSet]). Such Infosets capture the tree structure, the names of the elements, the character content of elements and attributes, and so on. The Infoset does not model schema data types, such as integer, and thus provides no association between character strings and values. Schema validation is not in general required for processing of SOAP messages.
The purpose of the feature described in this document is to optimize the transmission of SOAP envelopes by relying on type information that may be available to the sender. This feature does not specify any particular means by which such type information is to be determined: schema validation is one possibility, but senders MAY determine or establish types using other means. Type information need be provided only for Element Nodes that are to be optimized.
Unlike the Infoset, the XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model
([XML Query Data Model], hereinafter referred to as the "Data
Model") provides a model that carries type and value space
information for each element and attribute. Accordingly, the
feature described in this document and its implementations are
expressed in terms of that Data Model. A precondition for use of
this feature is therefore availability of a Data Model for the
message to be transmitted. Details of the correspondence between
SOAP Infosets and Data Models are provided in [XOP]
A. Mapping
between Infosets and Data Models. The Data Model
introduces properties and accessors such as
dm:string-value
,
dm:type
and
dm:typed-value
,
which are used in this specification.
Editorial note: HR | |
Note: the [XML Query Data Model] uses the terms "accessor" and
"property" for closely related concepts. For example the
documentation of the dm:type accessor for the
Element Node says "Returns the value of the type
property". In this WD, we use both the accessor and property
terminology. We expect to work with the XML Query Working Group
to converge on the appropriate use of Data Model terminology in
future releases of this specification.
|
The SOAP envelope does not in general convey schema type
information, and the purpose of this feature is to optimize but not
otherwise change the SOAP processing model. Accordingly, as
described in 2.3.2 Receiving a message, the feature described
in this document and its implementations does not require that the
type property or the return value of the
dm:typed-value
accessor be reconstructed at a receiving
node. This feature thus implements a "lossy" model, in which type
information available to the sender may be used for purposes of
optimization, but need not in general be provided to the receiver
(except insofar as necessary in the binding to implement the
optimization). The envelope Data Models at sender and receiver are
therefore identical in overall structure,
dm:string-value
accessor return value, and
children property value, but not necessarily with respect
to type property value and dm:typed-value
accessor return value.
This feature makes no changes to the SOAP processing model. Although type information is used to optimize transmission of SOAP envelopes, that type information in no way affects the processing of messages once received. As described in 2.3.1 Sending a message and 2.3.2 Receiving a message, there is in all cases an untyped XML Infoset corresponding to each transmitted and received envelope Data Model. The Data Models transmitted MUST in all cases correspond to legal SOAP envelope Infosets, and as described in 2.3.2 Receiving a message, SOAP processing is performed on received Infosets in the manner prescribed by the SOAP Recommendation.
Editorial note: HR | |
Request for comments: readers are invited to send feedback about this Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature. |
The Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature enables SOAP bindings
to optimize the transmission and/or wire format of a SOAP message by
selectively encoding portions of the message, whilst still presenting
an XML Infoset to the SOAP application. Optimization is available
only for element content that is in a canonical lexical
representation of the xs:base64Binary
data type (see
[XML Schema Part 2] 3.2.16
base64Binary and Errata in
XML Schema, E2-54).
Note: because there is a one-to-one correspondence between such
canonical forms and values in the value space of
xs:base64Binary
, MTOM implementations typically optimize
by transmitting a compact representation of the value in place of the
less compact character sequence. At the receiver, the character form
can be reconstructed if necessary.
Consistent with the requirement that a SOAP binding transmit the Envelope Infoset intact, implementations of this feature MUST NOT substitute canonical for non-canonical representations, or make other changes to optimized element content.
This Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature is identified by the URI:
"http://www.w3.org/2003/06/soap/features/abstract-optimization".
To send a SOAP message using the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature, a SOAP application MUST generate a Data Model corresponding to the SOAP Envelope Insoset in the manner specified in [XOP] A.1 XOP Infoset to Data Model Mapping.
When this feature is used in combination with the SOAP
Request-Response Message Exchange Pattern ([SOAP Part 2] 6.2
SOAP Request-Response Message Exchange Pattern) or the
SOAP Response Message Exchange Pattern ([SOAP Part 2] 6.3 SOAP
Response Message Exchange Pattern), the
http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/OutboundMessage
property is the Infoset derived from the Original Data Model as
described in [XOP] A.2
XOP Data Model to Infoset Mapping. Similar rules
should be applied for other MEPs, as appropriate.
Editorial note: HR | |
Is the reference to XOP correct? Should we change it to a direct DM reference (and which)? |
Implementations of this feature are likely to optimize a set of Element Nodes of the SOAP message and may use the value of the type property to determine how to optimize the Element Nodes.
One purpose of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature is to
optimize the transmission of base64 encoded data. To be optimized,
an Element Node whose content consists of base64
encoded data MUST have a type property value of
xs:base64Binary
and the return value for its
dm:string-value
accessor MUST be a canonical lexical
form of that type (see [XML Schema Part 2] 3.2.16
base64Binary and Errata in
XML Schema, E2-54).
Editorial note: HR | |
Need to change this reference to XML Schema second edition, 3.2.16 when available. |
Note: the means of identifying Nodes in canonical
lexical form are implementation-dependent. Some implementations can
identify such Nodes by construction (e.g., because a
certain API may create only canonical forms); others may check the
characters prior to sending; yet others may observe a convention of
setting the type property to xs:base64Binary
in
MTOM Data Models only when the data is known to be canonical.
Because of the need to exactly preserve the characters in the
transmitted Infoset, non-canonical representations MUST NOT be
optimized.
When receiving a SOAP message using an implementation of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature, a SOAP node SHOULD fault if it does not support the implementation used or the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature.
When receiving a SOAP message using an implementation of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature, a SOAP node binding MUST reconstruct the transmitted Data Model, with the following rules:
The type of all received Data Model Element Nodes and Attribute Nodes MUST be set as described in [XML Query Data Model] 6.2.3 Construction from an Infoset for Element Nodes and in [XML Query Data Model] 6.3.3 Construction from an Infoset for Attribute Nodes.
The return value of the dm:typed-value
accessor MUST
be adjusted accordingly, i.e., to return the same characters as
dm:string-value
for Element Nodes and
Attribute Nodes of undeterminated type (see
dm:typed-value
).
The receiving node MUST reconstruct from the Data Model an Envelope Infoset, as described in [XOP] A.2 XOP Data Model to Infoset Mapping; the receiving node MUST then perform SOAP processing on the reconstructed Infoset (see [SOAP Part 1] 2. SOAP Processing Model). In all cases, the received Infoset MUST be exactly the same as that transmitted by the sender. Receivers MUST NOT, for example, convert non-canonical lexical representations to canonical.
Implementations are free to reconstruct only those portions
actually needed for processing, or to present information from the
message in a form convenient for efficient processing. For example,
a value sent in an optimized form (e.g., binary) MAY be made
available in that form as well as in the character form mandated by
dm:string-value
.
When this feature is used in combination with the SOAP
Request-Response Message Exchange Pattern ([SOAP Part 2] 6.2
SOAP Request-Response Message Exchange Pattern) or the
SOAP Response Message Exchange Pattern ([SOAP Part 2] 6.3 SOAP
Response Message Exchange Pattern), the Infoset
contained in the
http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/InboundMessage
property is derived from the Data Model as described in [XOP] A.2 XOP Data Model to Infoset Mapping. Similar rules should
be applied for other MEPs, as appropriate.
Note: applications may perform schema validation or other processing that might create Data Models with more specific type information than that provided herein, but this feature does not provide for the reconstruction of type information based on type property values provided by the sender.
The usage of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature is a hop-by-hop contract between a SOAP node and the next SOAP node in the SOAP message path. Therefore, no changes or restrictions to the SOAP processing model are introduced by this feature at an intermediary. The section 2.3.4 Binding Optimizations at Intermediaries details the means by which certain optimizations can be performed by bindings at intermediaries. Note that the type property is used only as a means of facilitating hop-by-hop optimization: it does not in general affect processing at a SOAP receiver, and values of the type property are not in general preserved when relaying through an intermediary.
However a SOAP intermediary implementing the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature MUST still follow the rules related to the usage of an implementation of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature when receiving the message (see 2.3.2 Receiving a message) and those related to the usage of an implementation of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature when sending the message (see 2.3.1 Sending a message). In addition, it MUST follow the rules for relaying SOAP messages (see [SOAP Part 1] 2.7 Relaying SOAP Messages).
As described in [SOAP Part 1] 2.7 Relaying SOAP Messages, a SOAP intermediary may be called upon to relay intact certain headers, or to reinsert headers identical to those received and removed for processing. Furthermore, many intermediaries will relay unmodified the contents of the SOAP body. In all these cases, portions of the relayed message have content identical to corresponding portions of the inbound message.
The Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature does not require any particular correspondence between the optimization of the inbound message and the outbound message, even when optimized portions of the inbound message are relayed intact, or reinserted in identical form in the envelope Infoset. Nonetheless, the implementations of the receiving binding and the binding used to transmit the relayed message MAY cooperate to provide efficient relay. For example, if the inbound and outbound binding use the same representation for optimized binary, the implementations MAY cooperate to pass the optimized form directly from the inbound to the outbound binding. The choice of whether to implement such cooperation, and if so the means used, is at the discretion of the binding specification(s) and/or the implementation of the bindings. In support of such cooperation, the inbound binding MAY make available to the outbound binding the received values of some or all type properties.
Note: a consequence of this architecture is that there are no invariant rules for the degree to which optimizations are preserved as a message passes through intermediaries. Certain outbound bindings may be incapable of any optimization, and will therefore transmit unoptimized forms in all cases. Other bindings may be capable of optimization, but may or may not choose to or succeed in optimizing the same portions (if any) that were optimized in the inbound message. Other bindings, perhaps under the direction of logic provided in SOAP modules or perhaps as consequence of conventions embodied in the bindings, may optimize portions of the message that were not optimized inbound, or which were optimized using different techniques.
The Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization expands upon the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature by describing parts of an implementation of this feature using the [XOP] format as its basis. This specification does not describe a full implementation but is intended to provide support for building a full implementation of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature. In particular, this specification does not specify the use of any transport for the SOAP message. A full implementation based on this specification is described in 4.2 HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature Name.
The Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization provides the basis for an
implementation of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature by
describing how to serialize a SOAP envelope in an optimized way,
using the [XOP] format and a MIME Multipart/Related
packaging ([RFC 2387]). Specifically, it is assumed that
a Data Model has been prepared for the SOAP envelope as described in
2.3.1 Sending a message. For use with this serialization, the
type property MUST be set to xs:base64Binary
only for those Element Nodes known to be in the
canonical lexical form for that type. The type property for
all other Element Nodes MUST be set to
xdt:untypedAny
.
When sending a SOAP message using the MIME Multipart Serialization,
the SOAP message Data Model is serialized as specified in [XOP] 4.1
Creating XOP packages. The result is a MIME
Multipart/Related ([RFC 2387]) package: one body part,
the root, containing an XML representation of the modified SOAP
envelope, with an additional part used to contain the binary
representation of each element that was optimized, i.e., those whose
type property is xs:base64Binary
.
When receiving a SOAP message using this Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization, the SOAP Envelope Data Model is reconstructed from the XOP MIME Multipart/Related package by performing the processing specified in [XOP] 4.2 Interpreting XOP packages. From the Data Model, a SOAP Envelope Infoset is reconstructed as described in 2.3.2 Receiving a message.
Editorial note: HR | |
I think we should add somewhere what to do if the reconstruction of the Data Model or of the Infoset fails. Probably we should fault. |
The HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature is a binding-level feature implementing the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature in an HTTP binding. The basis of this HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature is the Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization described in 3. An Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization of SOAP Messages.
This HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature builds upon the current HTTP binding (see [SOAP Part 2] 7. SOAP HTTP Binding), enhancing it with the support of the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature. In all aspects not described in this section, the rules of the HTTP binding are not modified.
This HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature is identified by the URI:
"http://www.w3.org/2003/06/soap/features/http-optimization".
The HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature uses the Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization (see 3. An Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization of SOAP Messages) for implementing the Abstract Transmission Optimization Feature. On the sending side, this feature serializes the SOAP message as described in 3.2 Serialization of a SOAP message and puts the resulting MIME Multipart/Related package in the HTTP body. On the receiving side, this feature extracts the MIME Multipart/Related package from the HTTP body and deserializes as described in 3.3 Deserialization of a SOAP message.
When sending a SOAP message, the HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature changes the behavior of [SOAP Part 2] 7. SOAP HTTP Binding. This section describes the perturbations to [SOAP Part 2] 7.5.1 Behavior of Requesting SOAP Node that result from use of the HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature. Only those aspects described below differ from the existing operation of the HTTP binding, all other aspects of its operation remaining unchanged.
In the "Init" state, a HTTP request is formulated and transmission of the request is initiated. When using the HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature, the formulation of the request differs from [SOAP Part 2] 7.5.1.1 as shown in Table 2.
Field | Value |
---|---|
Content-Type header field | mime/multipart-related |
HTTP entity body | SOAP message serialized as described in 3.2 Serialization of a SOAP message |
The XOP package is constructed as described in 3. An Optimized MIME Multipart Serialization of SOAP Messages with the following restriction:
Each optimized Node MUST generate exactly one
extracted binary part in the resulting package, i.e.,
extracted binary parts MUST NOT be referenced with more than
one xop:Include
in the SOAP message part.
Note: this does not preclude the MIME Multipart/Related package
from including additional parts not referenced with a
xop:Include
. Such additional parts are not part of
the SOAP message Infoset and are not included in the SOAP
processing model.
Implementations of this binding MUST enforce the restriction that
XOP is not to be used with Data Models that contain Element
Nodes of name xop:Include
(see [XOP] 3.
XOP Data Models Constructs). In any case where a SOAP
envelope containing such a Node is to be sent, the
binding MUST do one of the following:
application/soap+xml
media type
or any other suitable media type, i.e., send the SOAP envelope
without using the HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature.
Note that such SOAP envelopes could in principle arise either from data created locally at the sending node or in data relayed at an intermediary. Bindings are responsible for checking all such input as necessary to ensure that the rule just stated is enforced.
When receiving a SOAP message, the HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature changes the behavior of [SOAP Part 2] 7. SOAP HTTP Binding. This section describes the perturbations to [SOAP Part 2] 7.5.2 Behavior of Responding SOAP Node that result from use of the HTTP Transmission Optimization Feature. Only those aspects described below differ from the existing operation of the HTTP binding, all other aspects of its operation remaining unchanged.
When making an abstraction of the request message available in
http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/InboundMessage
, the
HTTP Binding MUST reconstruct the SOAP Envelope Infoset as described in 3.3 Deserialization of a SOAP message.
