Subject: RE: [wsbpel] does anybody look into issues for interoperability between BPEL and ebXML?


Title: does anybody look into issues for interoperability between BPEL and ebXML?
Since BPEL has adopted WSDL as its binding framework the most obvious way to communicate with ebXML would be to invent a WSDL binding for ebXML. But in practice I suspect that wouldn't work as ebXML has a lot of signaling and other behavior that would be a real nightmare to capture in WSDL 1.1. In fact some ebXML behavior (such as the ability to have more than one type of success response) can't be described by WSDL and WSDL doesn't currently provide any standard for how to validate attachments which ebXML uses to move around application messages.
 
I suspect if we want to have a binding to ebXML we would need either to create a profile of BPEL that could bind to BPSS or hack the BPEL primitives to better handle some of the more unique ebXML messaging handling aspects along with a heavily modified version of WSDL but that would be a massive amount of work that one can safely say is out of scope for this TC.

Hi,

Just wonder if anybody look at interoperability issues between BPEL and ebXML, like:

-       invoke ebXML services within BPEL executable process;
-       a mapping between ebXML and BPEL messages through an intermediary.

...

Any comment?

Thanks
