Hello Tammo, just my two cents to your ideas :-)

Debugging is one of the most important stuffs to make BPEL more accepted by the users! I see how important it is by having such a feature (like in IBM Websphere Process Server) in big processes. o ODE integration with WSO2 Repository/MuleSource Galaxy to > store/retrieve BPELs/WSDLs/XSDs. This could also solve our import-issues > as the repository holds all linked artifacts. Could you explain this a little bit more in detail the improvements coming with it ? Ode has to load them during the deployment process, right? After that it would not influence Ode anymore or do you want to support dynamically retrieval of wsdl endpoints? I would consider that something like this that can be made easily together with an ESB like Apache Synapse or WSO2 ESB. I would prefer to have improvements for ws-standards support in ODE. I know that the bpel process (receive and reply) itself can be configured via the axis2.xml (Has anybody tested it so far?), but I would really love to see support for outbound messages via invoke-activity. I see the security stuff gets more and more important, so a good starting point would be to integrate parts of WS-Security (usernametoken, saml with Security Token Service ...). There is a great support of ws-policy in Axis2, so the deploy.xml of a process can be enhanced to support a reference to a policy file for a bpel partnerlink. The policy-file can be injected during runtime into the axis2 client. Apache Synapse does this stuff too injecting ws-security in a medation, so having a look at this code would shorten the implementation time.

Is this the simplified form of bpel? I have read a short summary of it. Any news for it? Any comments or other ideas? Also in my mind is support for the bpel4people-spec. I know that Intalio supports it via invoke in the bpel process, but it would be good to think about it... The deadline for project proposals is March 12th. > > Best regards, > Tammo A discussion is welcome :-).
