1. Elements

Content Model: sequence

Child Element(s)minOccursmaxOccurs
Header11
Body11

[1]  Envelope is the intended root element of the schema. An Envelope is a container element for an Envelope:Header and an Envelope:Body. The 2GEFS Envelope uses the same three elements as a SOAP 1.2 envelope, i.e., Envelope, Header, and Body. The advantage of using a 2GEFS Envelope is that the entire envelope can be validated along with the Header XML and the Filing XML, Confirmation XML, or Notice XML. SOAP 1.2 requires the use of a SOAP toolkit or custom code that extracts the payload and validates it. To the extent interoperable SOAP toolkits are available on the market and industry builds additional functionality onto SOAP messages (such as security or network error messages), SOAP 1.2 is a better long-term solution. The 2GEFS Envelope is a simple and easy way to envelope and pass Filing XML, Confirmation XML, and Notice XML in an interoperable way.

1.2. Envelope:Body
Content Model: choice

Child Element(s)minOccursmaxOccurs
Filing:Filing11
Confirmation:Confirmation11
Notice:Notice11

[2]  Envelope:Body contains information necessary for the primary transaction. In this case, Envelope:Body may contain either a Filing element, a Confirmation element, or a Notice.

1.3. Envelope:Header
Data Type: Header:Header
go to top

[3]  Envelope:Header contains transmission information necessary for moving data in the Envelope:Body from one address to another address. Once a message has reached its final destination, the Envelope:Header may be retained for logging purposes, but is otherwise unnecessary for the primary transaction. The primary transaction is passing of Filing XML, Confirmation XML, or Notice XML.

[4]  It is important to note that the SOAP 1.2 specification does not define header information and specifically instructs implementers to define their own header elements.
