Re: [wsbpel] Q: process priority?

[Danny van der Rijn <dannyv@tibco.com>]

while i don't fully understand what you're getting at with process category,
process priority isn't, to me, a property of the process, but a property of
the environment in which it executes.  to draw an analogy, operating system
processes don't know their own priority.  it's the OS that keeps track of
that.  i'm thinking that process category might be a similar construct?
