Subject: RE: [wsbpel] follow up question from the webinar
Hi David, - Many
products provide this functionality (including Adobe LiveCycle), although it is
not specified in BPEL itself. Inclusive in these products’ workflow features
are the following: o Multiple
approval levels o Each level
assessed out of order (eg parallel workflow) and be bi-directional
o Directed to
individual or group (eg role) Timeframes for redirection of task based
on days/hours. - Timeouts are
explicitly supported in BPEL. Workflow features based on a BPEL engine would
necessarily support duration (days/hours elapsed) and deadline (datetime to
complete) timeouts. A number of products support relative (e.g. complete on the
first Thursday of each month) timeouts as well. Graphical monitoring of processes during
runtime. - Monitoring
features are not part of BPEL, but are necessarily a feature of many BPEL and workflow
products (including Adobe LiveCycle).
Email advice to undertake task - A general requirement of products
providing workflow functionality (including Adobe LiveCycle). Many BPEL
products support this as part of their workflow features. In summary, many implementations of BPEL have an integrated workflow
solution available from the vendor or which otherwise sits on top of the BPEL
engine. BPEL itself does not specify workflow functionality, but such features
can be built on BPEL, and so many vendors provide them as a matter of course. -Charlton.
