Subject: Re: [wsbpel] Issue - 110 - Proposal for Vote


Yaron,

Excellent.  Finally this gets sorted out.

This is the perfect way for BPEL to interface to the OASIS jCAM 
implementation
for information validation and packaging, including error signalling via 
the compensation
handling.

Also - since jCAM supports context headers - this allows some limited 
use of context
handling too - to tailor specific schema structures and business rules 
based on the
use case scenario and context of the intiator.

Thanks for making this integration possible.  People wanting to try this 
can
download the jCAM open source implementation from
  http://www.jcam.org.uk

Thanks,

DW
