thanks guys, I'll look into it just to check, the IL allows me to expose POJO's directly to the workflows so that I can orchestrate them knowing that no SOAP exchanges will happen? that is my goal, to know that the worfklow is executed in-process without OS calls for networking (there's a possibility that thats a dump statement since WSDL is used to define services and there might not be any option to have methods exposed "by default" without WSDL's being required). I understand that its a basic question, but I just want to make sure. I just realized that IL might be API's for providing core internal services to the ODE engine that are needed for its internal functioning, and not exposed to third-party processes... thank you for the prompt responses and for somewhat confusing set of questions
