ebXML Messaging Version 3.0 Parts 1, Part 2 and AS4
Overview
Part 1: Core Specification – Summary AS4 – Introduction Part 2: Advanced Features – Overview
and examples
ebXML Messaging 2.0 & 3.0
Message Header with Business Metadata Identifies Business Partners, Transaction Semantics, Context,
Agreement, Properties, Payloads Reliable Message Delivery
At-Least-Once, At-Most-Once, In-Order delivery Security
Digital Signature and Payload Encryption Support for Non-Repudiation of Origin & Receipt
Leverages SOAP, MIME envelopes XML, EDI, multimedia payloads Multiple payloads per message
Transport Protocol Mappings for HTTP and SMTP Composition with other eBusiness Components
High Level Capabilities
ebXML Messaging Version 3.0Part 1: Core Specification
New ebMS 3.0 Concepts & Features
Processing Modes Parameters for capturing, expressing, sharing
configuration choices, message QoS. Message Pull Feature
Message Receiver Polls the Message Sender Consumer “receives” messages by pulling them from Sender
Benefit: Supports Small and Medium Size Enterprises Occasionally connected, no fixed IP address, behind firewalls
Message Partition Channels Messages assigned to channels Supports priority handling
AS4 Profile
AS4 – The lightweight solution
Message packaging governed by ebMS 3.0 Support for both document push and pull
message exchange choreographies Message security governed by WS-Security
with added support for payload compression Support for an AS2-like business-level Non-
Repudiation Receipt (MDN) Reception Awareness – “just enough” reliable
messaging (similar to AS2 and ebMS 2.0) Suitable for SME/lightweight clients
AS4 compared to AS2
AS4 has comparable features to AS2 including: Document push message exchange patterns Support for Non-Repudiation Receipts Support for “lightweight” reliable messaging Support for common security aspects like digital signatures,
encryption, and payload compression
AS4 additionally supports the following features not available in AS2:
Document pull message exchange pattern including support for secure access to Message Processing Channels
Native support for Web Services Support for “lightweight” client implementations
ebMS3/AS4 Implementations
Known implementations Axway, Fujitsu, NEC, Cisco, Data Applications
Limited, ENEA, Flame Computing, NEC Other implementations have expressed interest in
interoperability testing. Open Source: Holodeck

ebXML Messaging 3.0 Part 2: Advanced Features
OASIS ebXML Messaging TC
Multihop: ebMS Messaging Across Intermediaries
Intermediaries
No direct connection between MSH Connections (store & forward) between
two light clients
Multi-hop: hub and spoke
Multi-hop: Inter-connected hubs
Multi-hop: hierarchical
Bundling, Splitting, Joining, Compression
Bundle, Split, Compress
Decouple “logical” from “physical” message Many small messages with same destination,
submitted in a short interval, are more efficiently sent as a single ebMS SOAP message bundle
A (very) big message is more effectively sent as a series of smaller message fragments
Reduce data to send by using message compression
Applies to large messages and to bundles Also covers (verbose) message headers
Application Scenarios Bundling
High volume, non real-time transactions involving small payloads
Event reporting and data synchronization Any legacy batch application
Splitting Messages with large payloads, or with many
payloads Compression
Payloads and message headers
Implementation Flexibility
Specification concerns interoperability only Configuration parameters constrain what (not) to
bundle, size/timing parameters, policy .. Allows for optimization and differentiation
No impact to users: Can be handled within MSH, no change to
submission/delivery Simple features that compose with other
ebMS3 functionality Pull, push, reliable messaging, security … Backup
Compression Case Studies
Comparison with payload compression: Best case 14%; worst case 25%
Use bundle, split and compress to “optimize” message sizes
Case Study 1 : GS1 Data Synchronization - Sample bundle containing 23 GDSN 2.7 messages
Without Compression
Total size of messages 306K
ebMS eb3:UserMessage header overhead
19K (6%)
With Compression Total after bz2 compression 13K (4%)
Case Study 2: eCom 2.6 order
Without Compression
2.6 order (11 docs) 83K
UBL 2.0 (13 docs) 11.8K
With Compression Total after bz2/zlib compression
8% (worst case)
Summary
ebMS 3.0 (and AS4)
ebMS 3.0 Core Specification WS-* based, WS-I profiles compliant Functional superset of ebMS 2.0 Important extensions for Small and Medium-Size
businesses AS4
Profile of Core Specification Functional superset of AS2 Adds payload compression, Non-Repudiation of
Receipt, Reception Awareness
Part 2: Advanced Features
Intermediaries Enable SME-to-SME message exchange
Bundling Support efficient high-volume message
exchange Split, join, compress
Support efficient transfer of very large messages (and message bundles)
Variants in MEP Execution Better Pull and Sync replies
ebMS 3.0 Parts 1, 2 and AS4 B2B protocol with the broadest coverage of
user deployment scenarios Push, Pull and Synchronous exchanges From light-weight clients to high-end B2B gateways Point-to-point exchange and multi-hop exchanges From occasional exchanges to very high volume
exchanges From small message exchanges to very large
message exchanges Web Services based functionality that:
Is not in any other WS-* specification Only exists in (industry) niche B2B or MFT protocols Is handled (redundantly) at the application layer

Testing and Certification
Drummond Group is planning for the following upcoming testing events:
A week-long “virtual” BAKEOFF ideally in early December 2010 to demonstrate AS4/ebMS3 interoperability
Followed by a live BAKEOFF event at a TBD conference or expo in early 2011
A full-matrix interoperability Certification Test in 1H2011
Perhaps some of these testing events will be sponsored or co-sponsored by OASIS
