Reliable Messaging WS-RM / WS-Reliability

Reliable messaging, per se, only provides guaranteed delivery to an endpoint. BTM + RM help provide Guaranteed Delivery and Processing (GDP) . That is, you can be assured that your message not only got to the incoming message port, but was correctly processed by the destination business application, and moreover, that a whole sequence of related messages between business applications was processed correctly.
