Todd,

I'm not saying that I don't want it reliable. I certainly do. But I do 
not
need WS-RM to get that. I only need a JMS provider that ensures an
appropriate SLA/QoS on the publishing of a message. Most JMS providers
give me this and I don't need any WS-RM to get it. So my question is 
that
within the firewall why would I want to use WS-RM? What business 
imperative
would lead me down a WS-RM path? I just don't know what the answer is
but anyone who is a vendor of WS-RM based messaging or comms I would
  imagine does have an answer and that is what I would like to hear.

I take you point about the weakest link. Weakest links become a problem 
when
you go outside of the firewall. And I can see a need for something that 
can
help me in this regard. But my point is within the firewall. And the 
reason why
this is important is this is where many software projects start from. 
So you
either need to address it to those that choose technology to implement 
within
the firewall or explain how it fits a wider picture so that they make 
informed
decisions.

Cheers

Steve T
