Subject: RE: [wsbpel] Issue - 63 - Support of Array
David, Do you disagree the two code sample in my previous response that the one without Array support is more complicated ? Or you disagree that the simplification justify the introduction of Array in BPEL ? Are we trying to make BPEL simpler for the vendor to implement their product ? or are we trying to give a richer construct for the user to model their business process ? Is this debate similar to another issue about why we still need construct like <sequence>, <switch>, given that everything can be model using <flow> ?
