Yes, we appear to be to a point where we can move the Ode project forward on its own merit if the vote supports it and at that point get to an objective criteria for determining how to work out the internal details. I'm specifically avoiding judgements about the merit of any overlapping

I agree, we'll need to set both codebases in the repository so we can start the merge process. In parallel, we also need to determine what we want from the resulting merge so we can work together in building the new engine. alex James Strachan wrote: On 16 Feb 2006, at 16:41, Ismael Ghalimi

This raises an interesting point. Is the goal of the project to produce a BPEL engine? If so, then we could have separation between BPEL (processes) and workflow (human tasks). I think this would help modularity and clarify project focus. In order words, workflow-related pieces could go

It would seem better to think of the (human) workflow in a different scope as we disect the problem. There are all kinds of issues in Workflow with forms, etc. that have little to do with the actual orchestration or even BPEL. Brings to mind MVC. It might make sense to divide the problem space

+1 for importing the codebase into 2 subdirectories to start with. However, if we want to merge the two into one, then let's make it a goal that we don't release anything until we've figured out how to cut-n-chop mix-n-match to make that real. Its clearly not going to be easy and will take some

A BPEL engine is integrated within JBI using a JBI component. In such a case, the BPEL engine should only communicate with the JBI bus (excluding direct http calls or whatever else). The JBI container is really a container which communicates with a component using a set of specified interfaces,
