So if I understand correctly this is a start/stop for the process definition and are process definition lifecycle operations.
What do you think about moving these operations to the ProcessManagement interface and renaming to "suspend"/"resume" ( following the precedence on the InstanceManagement interface)? Lance On 8/16/06, Maciej Szefler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Lance, This is really unfortunate naming. The activate/deactivate on BpelServer is different from activate/retire on ProcessManagement. The former is a low-level message from the integration layer indicating that the server should "activate" (i.e. put into memory) the process definition. The latter is high-level message from the user about which process is to be responsible for creating new instances. -maciej On Tue, 2006-08-15 at 23:54 -0600, Lance Waterman wrote: > Maciej, > > Can you please give me some background on BpelServer.activate() and > BpelServer.deactivate() and the relationship to ProcessManagement.activate() > and ProcessManagement.setRetired(). > > I would think this functionality belongs solely in the ProcessManagement > interface. > > Thanks, > > Lance
