Subject: Re: [wsbpel-primer] WS-BPEL 2.0 Primer Revision 0.6
Hi, Dieter,
Thanks for sending the doc. Few items I would like to mention:
(a)
Where do we want to store for this document? (i.e. where is our repository?)
OASIS website? or sourceforge CVS? (either way I don't have a strong opinion)
Also, do we want to keep a brief change log?
(b)
Since we don't have a "What's new in WS-BPEL 2.0" section in the main
spec, we may want to add such a section in this primer?
One of our JDeveloper product manager wants to make an external presentation on
IDE and BPEL support. He asked me the similar question - "What's new in
WS-BPEL 2.0". I prepared a slide for him (attached). I guess that can be
served as the base of this What's new in WS-BPEL 2.0" section.
(c)
Some of content so far in primer is based on BPEL 1.1, not BPEL 2.0.
For example:
---------------------
One for describing business protocols (abstractProcess="yes"), one
for describing executable processes (abstractProcess="no").
---------------------
I guess we want to fix those things first before adding other signficant
content?
Thanks!
Regards,
Alex Yiu

For the WS-BPEL Primer call tomorrow, I attached an updated version of the
WS-BPEL 2.0 Primer to this mail and propose that we use this document as
the new base for further editing.
Note that the attached file is **NOT** a direct continuation of the
existing document, so we need to discuss whether this is acceptable for all
editors.
(See attached file: wsbpel-primer-draft-06.doc)
Update history:
- Created a new "doc" file from the WS-BPEL 2.0 *specification* in order
to reuse the template and styles from the spec
- Copied all contents of "wsbpel-primer-draft-05.rtf" into
"wsbpel-primer-draft-06.doc"
- Reassigned ALL styles (this drastically reduced the number of styles
compared with the original "rtf" document)
- Moved Thomas Erl's text into a temporary appendix chapter (source for
further reuse)
- Moved contents of chapter 2 into section 1.1 (this is too small to
become a chapter by itself -- all following chapter numbers decreased by 1)
- Copied text for the "Getting Started" chapter (which Simon and I
prepared earlier) into the document (now chapter 4)
- Deleted original "Notices" section and reused the "Notices" section from
the specification (now at the start of the document)
- Added a placeholder as section 1.5 which explains the structure of the
document
If this document is a new acceptable base then we can continue editing with
this new base. As for the spec itself, I would urge all editors to minimize
the number of styles to the absolute minimum and reuse what is already
there (heading styles H1-H3, example style etc.).
Kind Regards
