<h2><a name="representation-header" id="representation-header"></a>4 Representation Header Block</h2><p>
This section describes a SOAP header block, the Representation header
block, that allows a SOAP message to carry representations of Web
resources.
</p><div class="div2">
<h3><a name="rep-introduction" id="rep-introduction"></a>4.1 Introduction</h3><p>
The Representation header block is designed to allow applications to
carry a representation of a Web resource in a SOAP message. Applications
of this header include cases where the receiver has limited ability
to get the representation using other means, for example because of
access restrictions or because the overhead would be unacceptable. The
Representation header block is also useful when multiple references to the
same resource are required but duplication of the resource
is undesirable. See UC2 and UC6 <a href="diff-rrshb.html#ucr">[SOAP Optimized Serialization Use Cases and Requirements]</a> for details.
</p><p>
The meaning of the Representation header block, when present in a
SOAP message, is to make available the contained representation of
the resource it carries to the processing SOAP node. The SOAP node
MAY use this representation when dereferencing the URI of the
resource instead of making a network request to obtain a representation of
the resource.
Note that implementations MAY need to process a Representation header
block before processing other header blocks that require
dereferencing of a URI whose representation is carried in the
Representation header block.
</p><p>
Multiple occurrences of the Representation header block MAY be present
in the same SOAP Message to carry representation of multiple Web
resources or multiple representations of the same Web resource.
</p><p>
Several occurrences of the Representation header block having the
same value for the <code>role</code> and <code>resource</code>
<em> attribute information item</em>
(see <a href="diff-rrshb.html#rep-resource"><b>4.2.2 resource attribute</b></a>) MAY be present in the same SOAP
Message. Such Representation header blocks SHOULD NOT have the same
metadata (such as media-type). If such Representation header blocks
have the same metadata then any one of them may be used.
</p><p>
URIs that are character for character identical MUST be considered
equal when using a representation header to resolve a web reference;
URIs that are considered equal according to the URI scheme of the
URI SHOULD be considered equal.
</p><p>
An example SOAP Envelope using the Representation header block is
given below.

<h3><a name="rep-construct" id="rep-construct"></a>4.2 Representation header block Constructs</h3><div class="div3">
<h4><a name="rep-representation" id="rep-representation"></a>4.2.1 <code>rep:Representation</code> element</h4><p>
The <code>Representation</code> <em> element information item</em>
has:
</p><ul><li><p>
A [local name] of <code>Representation</code>.
</p></li><li><p>
A [namespace name] of
"http://www.w3.org/2004/08/representation".
</p></li><li><p>
One or more <em>attribute information items</em> amongst
its [attributes] as follows:
</p><ul><li><p>
A mandatory <code>resource</code> <em> attribute information
item</em> (see <a href="diff-rrshb.html#rep-resource"><b>4.2.2 resource attribute</b></a>).
</p></li><li><p>
An optional <code>reinsert</code> <em> attribute information
item</em> (see <a href="diff-rrshb.html#rep-reinsert"><b>4.2.3 reinsert attribute</b></a>).
</p></li><li><p>
Zero or more namespace qualified <em>attribute information
items</em> whose [namespace name] is not
"http://www.w3.org/2004/08/representation".
</p></li></ul></li><li><p>
One or more <em>element information items</em> in its
[children] property in order as follows:
</p><ol class="enumar"><li><p>
A mandatory <code>Data</code> <em> element information
item</em> (see <a href="diff-rrshb.html#rep-data"><b>4.2.4 rep:Data element</b></a>).
</p></li><li><p>
Zero or more <em>element information items</em>
whose [namespace name] is not
"http://www.w3.org/2004/08/representation".
</p></li></ol></li></ul><p>
The <code>rep:Representation</code> <em> element information
item</em> contains a representation of a Web resource. The
value of the <code>resource</code> <em> attribute information
item</em> is the identifier of the Web resource. The value of
the <code>rep:Data</code> <em> element information item</em> is a
base64-encoded representation of the Web resource.
</p></div><div class="div3">
<h4><a name="rep-resource" id="rep-resource"></a>4.2.2 <code>resource</code> attribute</h4><p>
The <code>resource</code> <em> attribute information item</em>
has:
</p><ul><li><p>
A [local name] of <code>resource</code>.
</p></li><li><p>
An empty [namespace name].
</p></li><li><p>
A [specified] property with a value of "true".
</p></li></ul><p>
The type of the <code>resource</code> <em> attribute information item</em>
is <code>xs:anyURI</code>. The value of the <code>resource</code>
<em> attribute information item</em> identifies the Web
resource whose representation is carried in the <code>rep:Representation</code>
<em> element information item</em> parent of the <code>resource</code> <em> attribute information item</em>.
</p></div><div class="div3">
<h4><a name="rep-reinsert" id="rep-reinsert"></a>4.2.3 <code>reinsert</code> attribute</h4><p>
The <code>reinsert</code> <em> attribute information item</em>
has:
</p><ul><li><p>
A [local name] of <code>reinsert</code>.
</p></li><li><p>
An empty [namespace name].
</p></li><li><p>
A [specified] property with a value of "true".
</p></li></ul><p>
The type of the <code>reinsert</code> <em> attribute information
item</em> is <code>xs:boolean</code>. When this attribute is
specified on the Representation header block with a value of
"true", it indicates that a SOAP forwarding
intermediary node processing the
header block must reinsert the header block. This means that when
used in conjunction with the <code>relay</code> attribute, defined
in <a href="diff-rrshb.html#W3C.soap-part1">[SOAP Version 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework]</a>
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/#soaprelay">
5.2.4 SOAP Relay Attribute</a>, with a value of
"true", the Representation header
block will always be relayed by a SOAP forwarding intermediary.
When this attribute is specified on the Representation header block
with a value of "false", the behavior of the SOAP
node processing the header block is the same as that when the
attribute is not specified, and normal SOAP processing rules
apply. The presence of this attribute has no effect on the
processing of a Representation header by a SOAP endpoint.
</p></div><div class="div3">
<h4><a name="rep-data" id="rep-data"></a>4.2.4 <code>rep:Data</code> element</h4><p>
The <code>Data</code> <em> element information item</em> has:
</p><ul><li><p>
A [local name] of <code>Data</code>.
</p></li><li><p>
A [namespace name] of
"http://www.w3.org/2004/08/representation".
</p></li><li><p>
Zero or more namespace qualified <em>attribute information
items</em> whose [namespace name] is not
"http://www.w3.org/2004/08/representation".
</p></li><li><p>
Any number of <em>character information item</em> in its
[children] property. No other type of <em>information
item</em> in its [children] property.
</p></li></ul><p>
The type of a <code>rep:Data</code> <em> element information
item</em> is <code>xs:base64Binary</code>. The value of this
<em> element information item</em> is a base64-encoded
representation of the Web resource carried in the
<code>rep:Representation</code> <em> element information item</em>
parent of the <code>resource</code> <em> attribute information
item</em>.
</p></div></div><div class="div2">
<h3><a name="rep-extensibility" id="rep-extensibility"></a>4.3 Extensibility of the Representation header block</h3><p>
The Representation header block is built to be extensible. This
section describes several possible usages of this extensibility.
</p><div class="div3">
<h4><a name="rep-soap-attributes" id="rep-soap-attributes"></a>4.3.1 SOAP header block Attributes</h4><p>
Attributes defined in <a href="diff-rrshb.html#W3C.soap-part1">[SOAP Version 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework]</a> <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/#soapenv">5. SOAP Message
Construct</a> for SOAP header blocks MAY be used with the
Representation header block.
</p><p>
Adding a <code>env:mustUnderstand</code> <em> attribute information
item</em> with a value of "true" in the
[attributes] property of the <code>rep:Representation</code>
<em> element information item</em> ensures that the SOAP receiver
is aware that the Web resource representation is available to it.
</p><p>
A <code>env:role</code> <em> attribute information item</em> in
the [attributes] property of the <code>rep:Representation</code>
<em> element information item</em> indicates the SOAP node for
which the Web resource representation is intended.
</p></div><div class="div3">
<h4><a name="rep-media-type" id="rep-media-type"></a>4.3.2 Specifying the media type</h4><p>
An <code>xmlmime:contentType</code> <em> attribute information item</em>
(See <a href="diff-rrshb.html#xmlmime">[Assigning Media Types to Binary Data in XML]</a>) MAY be used to convey the
media type of the representation conveyed by a header. Media type
information can be useful in determining whether a given representation
is suitable for processing and if it is, how best to interpret the
representation provided. If used, the <code>xmime:contentType</code>
<em> attribute information item</em> MUST appear within the
[attributes] property of the <code>rep:Data</code>
<em> element information item</em>. If the media type identified by
the value of an <code>xmime:contentType</code> <em> attribute information
item</em> is a text based media type then the value of the <code>xmime:contentType</code>
<em> attribute information item</em> SHOULD include a charset parameter.
</p><p>
An example that uses the <code>xmime:contentType</code> <em> attribute information item</em> is shown in <a href="diff-rrshb.html#rep-header-sample">Example</a>.
</p></div><div class="div3">
<h4><a name="rep-http-headers" id="rep-http-headers"></a>4.3.3 Extension example: HTTP resolver extension</h4><p> A receiving SOAP node MAY act as a resolver, with all the rules
pertaining to HTTP caches, for some or all of the <em>http:</em>
scheme URIs for which representations have been provided.
To enable this, one or more <em>element information
items</em> MAY be added to the [children] property of
the <code>rep:Representation</code>
<em> element information item</em> to transmit the information
needed at the HTTP level.
</p><p>
To avoid requiring that all SOAP senders understand the HTTP caching
mechanism, all the data required by a processor that wants to act
as a local cache needs to be carried along with the message. This
includes the complete request, reply as well as the time the
original HTTP request has been sent and the time the HTTP response
has been received.
