RE: [wsbpel] Issue - 157 - Proposal For Vote

["Satish Thatte" <satisht@microsoft.com>]

In the spirit of drastic simplification of the whole xII mess, a naive question:  what is wrong with inventing an activity based on XSLT that is rather like a web service invoke (XML in, XML out) but is a local activity that is defined by a (possibly inlined) XSLT script rather than a web service?
 
We have said several times that copy is really not needed except for the fact that calling web services for simple data transformation is too heavyweight and expensive though theoretically workable.  XSLT seems to have all the benefits of minimality and simplicity in BPEL without the runtime expensiveness of real remote web services.
 
Am I missing something?

Hi all,

After dinner last nite, I had a late nite 157 conversation with Yaron.
Here is the attempt to recap the content that we have discussed so far.
(I added some extrapolation of my own. Hopefully, those are reasonable
to Yaron)

Thanks!
