Re: [wsbpel] Issue - 53 - Should include Business Transaction Management (BTM) programming constructs compatible with WS-T, BTP and WS-TXM

Alastair / Mark,

The OASIS BCM team has already made a big start in this area,
and created a sub-team to focus on the business needs and
define the technology approach to this.

The latest PPT giving an overview is now available here:

 http://dfas.info/navigation/content.asp?document=%2FCMS%2Fdocuments%2FBCM%2EChoicePoint%2EIntroduction%2E2003%2D08%2D19a%2Eppt

And we are looking to work on the technical implementation
details next and invite folks in this vendor space to
participate.  There's already a raft of vendors with
products out there - and not necessarily OASIS participants
yet - that it would be excellent to have work on this.

No sense on us completely re-inventing the wheel here.

Thanks, DW.

Agreed.
