Message Service Specification (MSS)

The MSS contains two parts:

1. Header container. This is the first MIME part, containing One SOAP message. The SOAP message is an XML document consisting of a SOAP Envelope element. The SOAP Envelope element consists of:

   SOAP-ENV:Header. This is a generic mechanism for adding features to SOAP message, including ebXML specific header elements.

   SOAP-ENV:Body. This is a container for message service handler control data and information related to the payload parts of the message. 

   See SOAP Header and Body information (new window).

2. Payload containers. There can be zero or more additional MIME parts containing application specific payloads. See RosettaNet Business Message payloads (new window).
