Yes, I found the the documentation very helpful. I would like to ask a
couple of detail questions around persistence.
1) I would like to understand the purpose of the following method found in
the "BpelAbstraction" class:
protected BpelRuntimeContext getBpelRuntimeContext() {
BpelRuntimeContext nativeApi = (BpelRuntimeContext)
JacobVPU.activeJacobThread().getExtension(BpelRuntimeContext.class);
assert nativeApi != null;
return nativeApi;
}
and then from the JacobThread interface ...
/**
* DOCUMENTME
*
* @param extensionClass DOCUMENTME
*
* @return DOCUMENTME
*/
public Object getExtension(Class extensionClass);
Does registering the process context with the VPU tie the process context to
the Soup frame ( i.e. FastSoupImpl.ChannelFrame ) in some way or is this
just utilizing the JacobVPU singleton?
2) For a BPEL process, will there ever be a case where reactions remain in
the Soup queue at the time Soup.write() is called? If I am thinking about
this correctly there should only be objects in the channel frame and object
frame?
3) Why are outstanding BPEL requests persisted into the Soup ( i.e.
soup.setGlobalData(_outstandingRequests); )? These seem to be BPEL
correlation specific artifacts and I don't understand why they need to be
part of the VPU?
Alex - I would like to walk through the code that hooks the JACOB engine
into the iapi and then after that perhaps we can have an IRC around what the
build should look like for the ODE trunk? On a side note - I'd like to post
some deployment documents to the Wiki and check in some code to the scratch
area. I believe I have an Apache user account but I have not seen anything
about a password - do you know how to acquire a password?
Thanks,
Lance
