Issue - 72 - What to do with WS-I BP1.0?

Status: open
Date added: 1 Oct 2003
Submitter: Liu, Kevin
Date submitted: 01 October 2003
Document: Specification
Description: WS-I BP1.0 provides clarifications and constraints on the use of WSDL1.1. We need to 
investigate and decide if BPEL should be aligned with BP1.0. In particular, 
a few questions need to be answered:

1. Would BP 1.0 be restricting BPEL to the point that some of BPEL's functionality would not be available?
2. Would the fact that BP 1.0 only addresses the SOAP/HTTP binding imply that also BPEL should be limited to that type of binding?
3. Should a BPEL process be offered as a Web service that is BP 1.0 compliant?
4. Would it be fair to limit BPEL use to interacting with BP 1.0 compliant Web services only?
