What WS-* standards does BizTalk 2010 support?

Question

Despite spending some time trawling the MS websites, I have not been able to find out precisely what WS-* standards (and what versions) are supported by BizTalk 2010. The BizTalk site is curiously light on that sort of detail. Any idea how I find out, or am I asking the wrong question? Should I simply ask what standards are supported by WCF? If so, which version of that should I be paying attention to, or does it not matter?

Answer 1

Some useful information here.

WCF-WSHttp adapter. Provides the WS-* standards support over the HTTP transport. The WCF-WSHttp adapter implements the following specifications: WS-Transaction for the transactional interactions between external applications and the MessageBox database, and WS-Security for message security and authentication. The transport is HTTP or HTTPS, and message encoding is a Text or Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) encoding.

Also found some further specification here. Here's the complete list for the WsHttp binding:

• WS-Reliability
• WS-Reliable WS-Security
• WS-SecureConversation
• WS-Trust
• WS-Federation
• WS-Addressing
• WS-Policy
• WS-MetadataExchange
• WS-Coordination WS-Atomic
