Subject: Re: [wsbpel] Q: process priority?
Sid, Your question brings to my mind another question (isn't that how scientists stay in business? :-) ). What kind of priority to you mean? There are two meanings that I can think of in our BPEL context:
Both concepts have a place in the world, but I suspect the "technical" priority is more of an implementation issue. Business priority often shows up in workflow management systems, but BPEL's sparse model of work items makes it difficult to discuss relative business priorities; there is no real place where work items queue up, and can be prioritized. In other words, I don't see how business priority can be reflected in a BPEL model of a process at run-time. Perhaps that's just my lack of imagination... :-) But I digress. What did you have in mind when you used the phrase "process priority?" Cheers, -Ron Sid Askary wrote: Since we are dealing with an execution language, the question of runtime priority comes to mind. One could imagine an additional process property. While there may be other methods, this could explicitly be expressed as an additional binary attribute to the process element followed, conditionally, by a new element. |
