Subject: [bpel4people] BP-2 - RE: [bpel4people] NEW ISSUE: Title: Defer Activation Time is missing from HT protocol message

During the review of the updates provided by Dieter relating to incorporating deferActivation, we uncovered an issue with the definition of deferActivation while reviewing ws-ht. The use of the DeferActivationTime is currently specified as xsd:dateTime but the b4p spec defines b4p:for and b4p:until elements to specify a duration and a point in time respectively. The ws-ht spec does not account for this.

Excerpt from b4p:

<b4p:deferActivation>?

( <b4p:for expressionLanguage="anyURI"?>

duration-expression

</b4p:for>

| <b4p:until expressionLanguage="anyURI"?>

deadline-expression

</b4p:until>

)

</b4p:deferActivation>

<b4p:expiration>?

( <b4p:for expressionLanguage="anyURI"?>

duration-expression

</b4p:for>

| <b4p:until expressionLanguage="anyURI"?>

deadline-expression

</b4p:until>

)

</b4p:expiration>

We need to fix HT to correct this discrepancy. A proposal is going to be required for this.

Dave: please include this as an agenda item for the next TC meeting.

Subject: [bpel4people] NEW ISSUE: Title: Defer Activation Time is missing from HT protocol message

TARGET: WS-HT

DESCRIPTION: There is no mechanism for passing the defer activation time to a remote task. This value should be part of the humanTaskContext that is defined in Section 7.4.1 of the HT specification. It is important to include this value since the task needs to be able to enter the task management system in a CREATED state such that an admin could select the task and activate it prior to the defer activation time.

PROPOSAL: Update the humanTaskContext to include the defer activation value. This involves the following change to ws-humantask-protocol.xsd:

Existing definition -

<xsd:complexType name="tHumanTaskContext">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="priority" type="xsd:nonNegativeInteger"
        minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="peopleAssignments" type="tPeopleAssignments"
        minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="isSkipable" type="xsd:boolean" minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="expirationTime" type="xsd:dateTime"
        minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="attachments" type="tAttachments"
        minOccurs="0" />
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

Proposed definition -

<xsd:complexType name="tHumanTaskContext">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="priority" type="xsd:nonNegativeInteger"
        minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="peopleAssignments" type="tPeopleAssignments"
        minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="isSkipable" type="xsd:boolean" minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="deferActivationTime" type="xsd:dateTime"
        minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="expirationTime" type="xsd:dateTime"
        minOccurs="0" />
      <xsd:element name="attachments" type="tAttachments"
        minOccurs="0" />
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
