Hi all, Nice to hear about all of your efforts... The WS-BA spec is aimed at supporting business processes and work flows to manage their activity life cycles.. Specifically to deal with faulty situations.. Because of that, I too agree with Sanjaya regarding the use of a business initiator... IMHO we should have a clean implementation of the WS-BA spec in the first place.. Anybody should be able to use that as a basis to provide ws-ba ability for thier existing business process or work flow engines... At this moment what comes to my mind is that we need to provide an interface or a Transaction Manager which gives user the ability to drive the activity... This should expose the initiator+coordinator functionality of ws-ba... We can have the business initiator as an additional feature which uses that interface..
AFIKS the participant implementation will be the most valuable feature when in it comes to Kandula.. IMHO anybody who is going to use ws-ba as a base for their business process implementation is likely to have their own tightly coupled implementation underneath for performance reasons... But the participant web services (which will be running on Axis2 ;-) ) will need Kandula to provide the ws-ba participant functionality. I would like to hear more about the participant designs in Hannes & Sanjaya's implementations. Thanks, Thilina On 12/27/06, bimalee salpitikorala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi all, Thanx for the information.. We'll keep in touch about the progress.. I think it would be worth if you two can share your designs with us, so that we can come up with a design which will capture the good points from both of your work. Hannes, We would be more than glad to reuse your code for the maximum extent.. For that we would like to know about the time line that you'll be able to get it committed to Apache... Thanx again, Bimalee
