Voting example

[Yoichi Takayama <yoichi@melcoe.mq.edu.au>]

Hi

Please disregard my comment on the Voting example, that it may not be  
done with BPEL4People. I haven't seen the full example attached at the  
end of the document, which explains it better. <forEach counter="i"  
parallel="yes"> does it.

I am coming from an environment where multiple people can take up the  
same Task all at once and share it, therefore this mistake. I thought  
that it may be possible to have a syntax to indicate how many people  
are allowed to claim it at the Task level, not programatically  
creating multiple Task instances.

By using BPEL FOR loop, it must post the same Task to multiple people,  
they will be all different instances. I presume then that the loop  
cannot be finished until all the people have completed the Tasks or  
Skipped.

In this case, that may be desired, but how about other cases where  
people may want to move onto the next Task without waiting others?

Also, I am wondering about the case where people may do the same Task  
at the same time and share the Task (by sharing some instance ID or  
correlation parameter).

Regards,
Yoichi
