BPEL4People Issue Summary

[Dave Ings <ings@ca.ibm.com>]

Here's a summary of the issues we discussed this week during the F2F. We'll review this first thing Wednesday morning.

Note - just in case there is any doubt, there is NOT a BPEL4People Wed 6/11 at 11 AM ET! Due to the F2F in Walldorf of course.

Resolved Issues (are now referred to editing subcommittee)

4 Declaration of imported LPG not mentioned in B4P spec
5 Discrepancy between spec and schema regarding LPG attribute
8 Are string literals required for part, task, and LPG name in HT functions?
9 ht:getTaskID() is not defined

10 More control needed for the propagation of attachments (need final resolution text added to JIRA)
11 Initialization of process generic human roles in b4p
17 Define Conformance Targets

Open Issues

6 Does ht:getLogicalPeopleGroup() cause an LPG to evaluate?

12 Value of genericHumanRole in setGenericHumanRole operation call should be defined (depends on resolution of #20)
13 Merge ws-humantask-context.xsd and ws-humantask-protocol.xsd into a single file (Dieter checking with Mary)
14 Need to provide access to the Outcome field
15 What is the purpose of the optional task name param in ht:getLogicalPeopleGroup() (depends on resolution of #6)
16 Revise Specs to use RFC2119 Keywords
18 Task Priority is underspecified
19 Using process variables in constellations 1 and 2
