Webservices Realibilty

[Michael Evans]

Can anyone please help me understand if I want reliable messaging with a
webservice how do I achieve that? I heard that if you want reliable
messaging use System.Messaging. I guess I don't understand how can I make a
webservice call from my client application and expect it to get a response
back from a messaging queue?

What im trying to do is expose my webservice and make sure that the clients
messages always reaches the web server.Can you use a Webservice with
system.messaging? Or are there to different technology stacks.


PS
I understand that there is WS-Realible Messaging in the works, but what
about now!

I think this is not good to assume... In my opinion you must keep in mind
that a call to a web service can go wrong (this is also a SOA concept). BUT,
what reliable messaging is all about in my opinion: once the web service
call reach the web server, your client can be sure it will be processed.

So practically, you could create following architecture: a web method that
puts a message into a message queue. So once the client has made a call, it
knows the message is safe in a message queue. A server process picks up the
message and processes it. The result could be that the response is placed in
a queue to which the client is listening. Or your client could check back
once in a while using a web method.
