Documentation

IN

content

1..1

Bundle

The message to process (or, if using asynchronous messaging, it may be a response message to accept)

IN

async

0..1

boolean

If 'true' the message is processed using the asynchronous messaging pattern

IN

response-url

0..1

uri

A URL to submit response messages to, if asynchronous messaging is being used, and if the MessageHeader.source.endpoint is not the appropriate place to submit responses

OUT

return

0..1

Bundle

A response message, if synchronous messaging is being used (mandatory in this case). For asynchronous messaging, there is no return value

This operation does not use the parameters resource; the parameters "async" and "response-url" always go in the URL, if they are used, and the message parameter is always the body of the HTTP message

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
