WS-Eventing: A Note on Namespaces

  • Article

In part I of my discussion of WS-Eventing, I deliberately left the namespaces off the elements of the SOAP message. I did this for clarity, but I feel a little bad about where I say “This is finally valid WS-Eventing” – because its really not completely valid without the namespaces. So to salve my conscience, here is the final valid subscription from that article, with namespaces:

<s:Envelope

xmlns:s12='https://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope'

xmlns:wsa='https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing'

xmlns:wse='https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/01/eventing' >

    <s12:Header>
