Subject: Question regarding WS-Business Process
Hello there, I am reading trough the WS-Business Process specification right now and I am wondering if I am understanding everything correctly. So at first sight a Business Process seems to be structured like a normal transaction protocol with an atomic outcome. It has a root coordinator and some participants which are named tasks. These tasks can be within different domains whereas every domain needs a businessTaskCoordinator to manage the tasks in some way. So the root coordinator only knows the coordinators of the different domains which are his participants and his own tasks which are also participants. for terminating the business process every coordinator of a domain can register a terminatorParticipant which will be informed if the root coordinator is ready to be completed. So now my first question, how does the root coordinator will be informed to complete the business process? I can't find any messages send from the terminatorParticipant to the root coordinator with instructions to complete, as far as I can see it they only will get informed, right? OK so although every domain can be implemented with whatever transaction specification like for example BTP, but the businessTaskCoordinator still has to be a Web Service in order to be enlisted as a participant with the root coordinator, right? So my final question, a root coordinator only knows the businessTaskCoordinator of a domain and never the sub-tasks of a domain, right? thanks so much in advance for your help Dominik Heller
