Subject: RE: [wsbpel] Issue - 11 - Proposal to vote


I admit I haven't followed the recent detailed discussion of 11.  I do
agree with Dieter point that XSLT is desirable relative to peculiar BPEL
data manipulation features and also that a 103-like protracted effort
for semantic naildown is not desirable.  I would like to hear the
opinion of the currently active participants in the 11 discussion on how
close we are and much effort it would take to make this XSLT feature a
foolproof addition to BPEL with the door open for other transformation
models using infoset terminology, etc.

Subject: [wsbpel] Issue - 11 - Proposal to vote
Importance: High

The recent appends related to issue 11 show a lot of interest in
introducing XSLT under the assign activity. We definitely support the
idea
of building on standardized data manipulation languages as opposed to
inventing our own (which has never been an objective of WS-BPEL).

Without getting into the formal discussion (XSLT has been rejected in
Issue
48; XSLT is a major feature and not a bug), we would like bring up some
of
our concerns with the current approach. We recognize that there is a lot
of
good work being done right now, however, a long process for the c
larification of the BPEL data access from XSLT (similar to 103 for
XPath)
is not really an option if we want to finalize the specification soon.
