Re: [ebxml-bp] Implementing BSI for ebXML-bp BPSS

["David Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Jesmond,

I don't think there is any one "way" here.

If someone can prove that BPEL can do this - then that is good for them.
Right now personally I'd say that would be hard given the gaps in BPEL.

However - likewise - from the pure theoretical stance - I see that a
Prolog engine such as SWI Prolog - with libraries for various connections
can represent a solid deterministic way to approach BSI for BPSS.
Then the state management is easy - since it revolves around asserting
and retracting Prolog facts.  Maybe Prolog directing  JBPM?

Someone else may decide that Python is a good choice for similar
reasons.

Anyway - the good news is that BPSS is an XML representation that
can be managed by a variety of tools that are able to provide the right
level of support for what the BPSS specification requires.

It is good though that we are considering there options.

Thanks, DW
