Subject: Re: [wsbpel] Issue - 130 - Proposal for vote


I originally asked that we hold off until the abstract BPEL issue comes to a closer as this seemed of most relevance for abstract BPEL (externally visible behavior use case in particular). All external interaction dependencies w.r.t. a collaborating party grouped together, so that developer of the process on the collaborating side can easily see the all interaction points with the processes that it needs to mesh with.

However, at this point I don't see much utility for this myself unless we specify how the users are expected to make use of this clearly. I agree with Paco that better to remove things that have no direct utility to the BPEL users.

Regards, Prasad

I was of the same opinion as you (that partner elements may have a use in B2B modeling for example) but the truth is we don't know enough about their use to justify their inclusion in the final spec. Better err on the side of simplicity.

While partners have no syntactic or semantic value in either abstract or
executable BPEL (nor have they ever), they still retain semantic meaning
at the modeling level.  I don't actually recall a discussion about
removing them, but I'm somewhat ambivalent about doing so, and wonder
what others think on the issue.
