The goal of Reliable Messaging Messaging in Web services is to allow helps applications to send and receive messages in an efficient and reliable secure manner amidst application, platform, or network failurefailures. The WS-Reliable Messaging specification (WS-RM) defines a protocol and a set of mechanisms that to ensure that messages are delivered reliably between two endpoints. WS-RM handles both simple and complex scenarios arising in message transmission.

Reliable Messaging capability is provided by the Reliable Messaging Core/UI features in the WSO2 feature repository, which are currently bundled by default in the Service Management feature. These features provides a Reliable Messaging tool that is used to enable enable WS-RM to  to services at global-level and service-level.
